What is the HPV Vaccine?
The HPV vaccine helps to reduce the risk of developing certain types of cancer, such as cervical cancer. It was developed in 2006 and has since been administered to people worldwide. It works by increasing immunity against human papillomavirus (HPV) infection, which is responsible for causing various cancers and other illnesses.
The HPV vaccine helps to protect people from HPV infection by inducing an immune response that creates antibodies against the virus. The effectiveness of this vaccine has been demonstrated through research and clinical studies. The vaccine has been shown to help protect people from both pre-cancerous lesions and cancerous tumors associated with HPV.

Diagnosing an HPV Vaccine Injury
The HPV vaccine is extremely beneficial for preventing certain types of cancers. However, some people may experience negative reactions commonly referred to as "vaccine injury." Fortunately, medical professionals are well-equipped to diagnose a potential vaccine injury. While symptoms can vary, common ones associated with an HPV vaccine injury include:
- headaches
- fatigue
- muscle/joint weakness
- abdominal pain
- anaphylaxis (severe allergic reaction)
- neuropathy (nerve disorders)
If any of these symptoms arise, it is important to speak with your doctor. Diagnosis involves ruling out other possible conditions before concluding a potential HPV vaccine injury. This might include a physical exam and other laboratory tests such as blood tests or imaging studies.
How we can help with your HPV vaccine injury
Injuries from vaccines can change your life, and you may be qualified to receive financial compensation through the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program (VICP). After lawsuits against vaccine companies and healthcare providers in the 1980s threatened to reduce U.S. vaccination rates and cause a resurgence of vaccine-preventable diseases, the VICP was created. At My Vaccine Lawyers, our team can help you file a claim and guide you through the entire process with the VICP if you have suffered from vaccine-related injuries.
