Summary Points:
- Since quadrivalent HPV vaccine was licensed in June 2006, more than 23 million doses have been administered nationally.
- There were a total of 12,424 reports to the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS) of adverse events following HPV vaccination through December 2008. The vast majority (94 percent) of adverse events reported to VAERS after receiving this vaccine have not been considered serious. The findings of this first published post-licensure safety review were generally not different from what is seen in safety reviews of other vaccines recommended for 9- to 26-year-olds.
- The most common events reported were syncope, local reactions at the site of immunization (pain and redness), dizziness, nausea, and headache.
