Is Gardasil safe?

As parents, we want to do everything we can to keep our children safe and healthy.

Very recently, that included having our teenaged girls vaccinated against the sexually transmitted disease, HPV, that causes cervical cancer.

This morning, we learned the feds are looking into the possibility that Gardasil is linked to 18 deaths and cases of paralysis and immune system disorders.

The FDA approved Gardasil in 2006.

So, parents who've had their girls vaccinated, thinking they were protecting their daughters, may be concerned. Those who haven't had their daughters vaccinated with Gardasil -- may hold off altogether.

Before you make a decision, talk with your doctor. Also, for more information on adverse reactions to Gardasil visit http://www.cdc.gov/vaccinesafety/vaers/gardasil.htm.

Here's another interesting article on the topic: http://www.worldnetdaily.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&pageId=68454
