Any One Had Problems From Cervical Cancer Jabs?
I had my final one last Thursday.
As per usual it hurt (i’m quite scared of needles) and i was left with the pain in the arm for the few day, same as the last two.
This last one Has left a redish bruse on my arm and a hard lump, which was sore, but isn’t now. Anyone else had this??
Remember this was my last one, so is it anything to do with that?

“Good on you,” as my Aussie friends would say, good on you for getting your jabs over with.
You are probably building up the proper immunity to the HPV infection, which is why your third jab has caused a lump. I wouldn’t worry about it, but just call your GP’s office and speak to the Nurse to be sure.
Anyway, there is nothing that can be done to reverse it. (But at least your ARE immunised! Yeh!!!))

As Rhianna suggests, this is either a minor local vaccine or basically simply a bruise. Since this is the last of the series you need do nothing and the problem should settle on its own.

The most common mild and minor side effects are redness/soreness at the injection site and mild arm ache. It can leave a bit of a lump. It’s quite normal and nothing to worry about, it will go away shortly.
