I am 14 years old, and have had all three Gardasil shots. Now, this may not be much in comparison to what some of you are going through, and im very sorry for you. however, it seems that a very common side effect of Gardasil is a sore arm. I had my first two shots already, and i recently received my third. as the nurse was administering the shot, i heard the words "oops" escape her lips. Needless to say, this worried me. I was also getting another shot that day, so my sore arm on the day of did not worry me. However, in the days after the shot, slowly the bump from the *other* shot went down, as the one from the Gardasil remained. It is as sore as can possibly be, and has recently become quite itchy. I do not want these other side effects to occur, especially since i am going away to camp very soon. Should i be terribly worried? please respond to this comment or email at ****** (no space... an htm just isn't allowed.)

That's one of the side effects that they actually tell you might happen. However, you might want your dr to look at it, if it's that sore.
