Has anyone else's DD suffered a weird reaction to the HBV Vaccine? :S

[sensuallettuce]

DD (12) had her 3rd injection today. She is very down to earth and gets on with things without a fuss (which is the reason for my concern). She said as she walked away from the nurse she started sweating profusely went all hot and cold and her legs went all wobbly and she felt like she was going to faint.

She went to her house office and they got the nurse and she said she thought it was just shock DD then proceeded to fall asleep in the house office and had a headache and was really sleepy, and loads of people commented on how pale she looked (she is now fine).

House office offered to call me to get me to collect her but she said no as I was at work and she didn't want me to have to leave. I am quite pissed off that the school didn't at least call me to tell me this happened and am a bit worried - is this normal?! DD suffers with asthma but has not yet been allergy tested.

I, personally, wouldn't have it orchid and I do think it is oversold a bit as a 'cure all' for CC and I worry that it may make people complacent about screening because they think they can't get HPV or CC if they have been vaccinated. There are some studies currently looking into that so other people obviously have the same concerns.

bumbleymummy - do you have an alert system set up for when someone posts a thread on vaccines?!

You're seemingly so much more prolific in this (and one other contentious) topic.

Nope! Although it would be a great idea....

I can't remember ever being told in school about the importance of getting screening tests. Maybe the vaccine can be a good opportunity to increase awareness of cc in a broader sense as well, rather than making people more lax about it?
