If you are reading this you’re probably a health-conscious consumer doing your research.

Katie’s Gardasil Vaccine Story

By all accounts, our daughter was normal before receiving the HPV Gardasil vaccine. Katie performed very well in school. She was conscientious, hard-working and took pride in getting good grades. She loved dancing having taken dance classes since she was 3 years old. Katie always danced and twirled throughout our home and anywhere else she happened to be. When Katie was 10, she joined cheerleading and became involved in competition cheerleading. She was very active, taking four hours of dance class every week plus spending many more hours practicing with her competition cheer team. Katie was healthy and vibrant.
