Hi,
Gardasil
vaccination is used to prevent most cases of
cervical cancer if this vaccination is administered before girls or women are exposed to the virus. This vaccine can also prevent vaginal and
vulvar cancer. According to the various researches, this vaccine doesn't increase the risk for any serious condition and is very safe for all ages. But like other medication, it has side effects.
It may cause redness, tenderness, itching or swelling at its route of entry, headache,
dizziness, nausea, vomiting, fever,
thrombosis etc. But everybody will suffer from side effects after getting this vaccine, it is not like that. Thus, your girlfriend can take this vaccine as it is considered as safe.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
