Does Receiving Gardasil Shot Twice Cause Any Adverse Side Effects?

Hi,my daughter is 19 years old. When she was 12, she took a gardasil vaccine. When she was starting college, her college required a Hepatitis B vaccine. When she went to take the last 3rd dose of that vaccine, her doctor injected gardasil instead of Hepatitis B, without checking the records on the computer. I recently found out about this, now I m worried. My question is, does it cause any side effect or harm to her, since she took that gardasil vaccine again?

Hi, according to WHO two doses of gardasil are recommended atleast 6 months apart. But it should be taken below 15 years. However, I don't think it can be harmful if taken after 15 years also. So, don't worry about it. Hope I have answered your question..
