As of February 2009, 40 million doses of Gardasil had been distributed worldwide.[36] According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the vaccine was tested in thousands of females (ages 9 to 26).[33] The Food and Drug Administration and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention say that the vaccine has only minor side effects, such as soreness around the injection area.
As far as mandating this vaccine goes, I'm opposed to it.

The biggest issue with the vaccine, IMO, is the fact the manufacturer states it should not be given to persons with any strain of HPV. The virus can be transmitted at birth from mother to child or picked up via non-sexual contact. However, there is NO testing prior to vaccination. In the manufacturer literature, it indicates that receiving the vaccine when HPV is present can cause accelerated growth of the virus.
WTF? It means young women are gambling when they get the jab. No thanks.
“A single adverse case does not warrant hysteria...”
Yes, but if you use lots uppercase and lots of exclamation points it makes it a scientific fact! /s
For the record, I am against mandating this vaccination.
However posting anecdotes as proof and throwing in a good dose of unwarranted hysteria does not prove anything at all. It merely makes the poster look foolish.
