What Causes Vomiting After Receiving Gardasil Vaccine?
My son received a Gardisil 9 vaccine 3 days ago. He has had vomiting and diarrhea and is complaining of tenderness at he injection site as well as numbness in approximately a 3-4 diameter around the injection site. His arm is not swollen or discolored. I am concerned after reading all of the frightening information online about this vaccine. This was his 1st in the series.

Dear don't worry after vaccination number of kids get fever , local side swelling and Pain. Gardasil has also common side effect of swelling and pain on the injecting site that will resolve with time. You can take a plane paracetamol if he gets fever. But as you mentioned your son got diarrhoea & vomiting that are another side effects of the vaccine you should consult with treating doctor personally .
