Taken Gardasil Shot After Abnormal PAP Test. Am I Safe From The Side Effects?

Hi there,
I've read lately on the dire side effects from the gardasil shot. I was scared into taking the shot by my doctor when it came back that I had abnormal cells from my pap test, and she spoke about the shot like it was a godsend and everyone should be taking it. I was skeptical, but agreed to the shots. I took my last shot last year maybe January 2013 and i've been hearing that these shots are now causing paralysis and even death. I've been researching but only am scaring myself more. My question is, with this new insight, am I considered safe now that I have had the shot so long ago? Can I develop new symptoms/ die because of these shots?

Hello,

With abnormal PAP test, GARDASIL shot is not much protective in comparison to normal PAP test. However, you need to exclude HPV infection by undergoing one HPV test. It will be beneficial and clear doubts. Kindly, consult with your doctor.
