Two Women Die Shortly After Receiving Gardasil
By MedHeadlines • Jan 26th, 2008 • Category: Cervical Cancer, Women's HealthMedHeadlines - Two young women have died shortly after receiving Gardasil, a vaccine against human papillomavirus - one of the main causes of cervical cancer. The European Medicines Agency (EMEA) has reported that the two deaths occurred in Austria and Germany. Both women died shortly after receiving the vaccine. Not long ago, three other women from the United States died after they have received the vaccine.
Some sources have linked 28 cases of miscarriage in women who received the vaccine, however, according to the FDA, there is no evidence linking Gardasil to either miscarriage or death. Since there is no direct links between the fatalities and Gardasil, FDA will not recommend to reexamine its safety.
The European Medicines Agency released a statement saying that “…On the basis of the currently available evidence, the EMEA’s Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use (CHMP) is of the opinion that the benefits of Gardasil continue to outweigh its risks and that no changes to its product information are necessary.
The EMEA will continue to closely monitor the safety of Gardasil and take appropriate actions should new information emerge that has an impact on the benefit-risk profile of Gardasil.”
They can’t explain what the vaccinated women died from, and yet we aren’t to suspect there could be a risk involved?
Well I wont be signing for my 13 year old daughter to get the vaccine.
