Believe it or not, the Gardasil shot is not all it's cracked up to be. There are serious reported cases of things like seizures, blood clots, and even possible deaths. Now, no vaccination tends to be 100% effective but we're not really sure what this vaccine will do entirely for many years to come.
Here is a link in which a woman reports the death of her daughter possibly being linked to the Gardasil shots:

Here is a link in which a person has gathered side-effects from various women that had the shot. The person has made a table of them (which is sort-of small but readable):

...That includes things like seizures, death, and severe headaches/pain.

"Side effects published by Merck & Co. warn the public about potential pain, fever, nausea, dizziness and itching after receiving the vaccine. Indeed, 77% of the adverse reactions reported are typical side effects to vaccinations. But other more serious side effects reported include paralysis, Bells Palsy, Guillain-Barre Syndrome, and seizures."
Here is also another site that informs others how serious the side-effects can be:

This also has some things to say about the Gardasil vaccine:

I did read that Merck (the makers of Gardasil) did add to the side effects list: Bells Palsy, paralysis, seizures, and Guillain-Barre Syndrome. Those are all very serious conditions to be developing after a vaccine used to help prevent only four types of HPV.
The four strains of HPV it helps prevent are numbers 16, 18, 6, and 11. There are more than 100 strains of HPV though. Strains 16 and 18 cause cervical cancer and 6 and 11 cause genital warts; however, there are many other strains that cause the same thing and that are transmitted the same way. Gardasil does NOT prevent ovarian cancer and has nothing to do with the prevention of such cancer.
Genital cancers are caused by HPV strain numbers 16, 18, 31, 33, 35, 39, 45, 51. Genital warts are caused by 6, 11, 42, 43, 44, 55 and some others I'm not sure of. Other different strains of HPV are also responsible for warts on the hands and feet, a scaly skin disease, and even an oral infection that causes masses on oral mucus membranes.
I also want to point out that as I was searching for links to post here for you to check out, I saw a lot of lawsuit websites where some people are taking legal action to sue Merck for the severe side-effects they experienced. I'm not sure if they have a true lawsuit yet or if they're just claims so far.
Like I said, no vaccination tends to be 100% safe. It's up to you to decide if you want to risk the possible very-harmful side effects that could come along with it. For me, I'd like to give it a few years before even thinking of possibility getting the shot.
The vaccine is so new for all we know it makes women infertile (a major fear of mine which is why I refuse to get the vaccination). We won't be sure what exactly it MAY do to our bodies until quite a few years down the road. I know that in pregnant women it causes miscarriages and major birth defects but it's still early to really find out if it causes anything in women who get pregnant AFTER receiving the shot.
And to be quite blunt, your daughter doesn't NEED this sort of vaccine against FOUR strains of HPV if she is keeping her pants on. Teach your daughter how dangerous sexual activity is and you won't have to worry if she will end up with HPV. If a woman is only with one man her entire life (and that man is only with her throughout his entire life) the chances of her developing cervical cancer or genital warts are pretty darn slim. Promiscuity never got anyone health.
I hope you find the things you're looking for and I hope I've helped your search a little.

Yes. You're suppose to get it, before she becomes sexually active though, I think. If she knows she is going to start having sex, then she needs to go get it.
My mom won't let me get it though, because it's new and unsafe. Shes a doctor and cautious about that stuff though.. I think the person below me explained all the negatives of it though.
hope that helped. :) talk to your doctor about it..

I do not suggest it.

There are many websites like this. Gardasil contains a few compounds linked to infertility and other negative effects.
Currently, because of the newness of the vaccine, we have absolutely ZERO accurate studies about the long term effects, and we have concerns raised about its contents.
When I have kids, based on the research available, I will pull them out of public school if this vaccine is ever mandated. Its really screwed up that we have a vaccine that is supposed to solve a disease that we have little information on in the first place. And its available to the general public and is being MARKETED to citizenry without anyone being able to tell you "its safe and effective"
Well, they are saying its safe and effective.
And they're lying through their teeth.
Cervical cancer is one of the rarest forms of cancer. We have zero proof by statistics that gardasil lowers the actual chances of cervical cancer by any detectable degree. We DO have proof that dangerous, poisonous chemicals that can potentially remove your ability to have children are in ALL current batches of the vaccine.
I am not exaggerating when I say that getting a shot of gardasil is playing russian roulette with a child's future ability to bear children.

Incorrect.
Girls must receive the vaccine prior to becoming sexually active if she is to fully benefit from the protection against cancer that it offers. Once she has begun her sex life, she may be exposed to the virus and then the vaccine will not help her if she contracts it.
Best to get it done early, before the girl's had any sex at all. Cervical cancer is a nasty disease.
Even if a young girl says she's not having sex, she may well be. Or there is the possibility of being raped and contracting it that way. You just simply never know.
Please remember this is primarily a vaccine to protect against an awful form of cancer. Not exactly something that should wait if doctors say it could be done now.

I'm 16 and im NOT sexually active. But, i've had all 3 shots for the HPV cancer. They are offering to girls as little as 12 years old. They want girls to try and get the shot before they have sex, so that if the girl is exposed to the virus when they become sexually active, the body can reconize it, and get rid of it before it causes cervical cancer. So if i were you, get your daughter the shot, regardless of if she is sexually active or not, its better to safe than sorry.
Hope i helped!

not really, its best that she gets it before she is sexually active

Doctors encourage it as early as age 9 only because it lasts your entire life. Even if you're not sexually active now, chances are you will be when you get into college, and even if not then, you have to protect yourself if your husband is carrying anything he is not aware of. I am planning on abstaining until marriage, or at least waiting for someone I really, truly love (which won't be anytime soon) and I still got it as soon as it came out, when I was 13.
I strongly encourage your daughter (you?) to get the vaccine asap, especially if they are already a teenager.
