Hi there, I've received a Gardasil vaccine (2nd one)...after the 1st one i experienced extreme itching around my eyes and on my face....I also started getting rashes...I did not realize at the time that it might be the vaccine...but now after receiving the 2nd one, I experience all these symptoms again...could the vaccine be the cause and if so, what must I do?

Hello,
Thanks for the query.
Yes it can be related to vaccine.
vaccine, like any other drug can cause a rash.
Any how you have already taken two doses, and the reaction was not severe, I would advice you to take the third dose also so that the vaccine can offer you protection.
Before taking the last dose you can take an anti histamine.

Let me know if you have any other doubt.
