Could Cancer Vaccination Have Killed British Teenager?

Health, Kids, Safety, Vaccine

An apparently routine vaccination appears to have had tragic consequences for one 14-year-old girl from Coventry.  Shortly after being injected, she became an unwell and died shortly after arriving at the University Hospital on Monday afternoon.

 

The cancer vaccine produced by GlaxoSmithKline has been used in the UK on girls aged 12 to 13 years of age since last September.  It is hoped the vaccine may help to curb STDs and the HPV virus thought to be associated to cervical cancer.

 

Head teacher Dr Julie Roberts said, "One of the girls suffered a rare, but extreme reaction to the vaccine, a number of other girls also reported being unwell and some were sent home."
