First off, sorry if this is the wrong section to post in.
I'm really nervous. Less than two weeks ago I got a Gardasil vaccine and my doc said I have to come back in a month for a second. Anyway, I just went back today for something else and while I was there she said, "Oh, you need your second Garsasil shot too". I knew it was too early but I stupidly didn't say anything cause I didn't want to question her.
Well anyway, I looked it up online and I see that you're supposed to wait two weeks MINIMUM for the second shot, and know I'm freaking out the virus by be strong enough to infect me. Can I get any information on my risk? Thanks guys.
Probably should've mentioned that Im worried about the risk of being infected with HPV, which is connected to Gardasil obviously.
Also, its a maximum wait of 4 weeks, not 2, that was a typo. Sorry.
Good evening. First of all I would get another doctor. Because they don't know what they are doing. I did some searching and I want on 3 site and all said the same thing. It is given in a series of 3 injection. The second shot is to be given 2 month's after the first and the last shot is to be given 6 month's after the first. If I were you I would watch for side effects...Hives, trouble breathing and swelling of the face, lips, tongue and throat. It does also say that a overdose is unlikely. But I would call that doctor and tell them what they did. And do not go in until its 6 month's Good luck I hope this helps Ken
Thanks for the response. Do you think theres any chance of me getting HPV from this though? Thats what im most worried about.
Hello I just read a few again to check they say nothing about if you can get HPV from the injection. They just say look for side effects. That care Ken
