Hi there, The signs of a severe allergic reaction can include difficulty breathing, hoarseness or wheezing, swelling around the eyes or lips, hives, paleness, weakness, a fast heart beat or dizziness. Life threatening allergic reactions to the flu shot are rare. Moreveor, should there be one, these signs would most likely happen within a few minutes to a few hours after the vaccine is given. Otherwise, receiving the flu vaccine is a fairly uncomplicated process.

Yes, you still can get the Gardasil 9 HPV vaccine. This is because the G9 vaccine would cover for 8 other HPV strains that can cause cervical, vulvar, vaginal, anal, oropharyngeal, other head and neck cancers and genital warts. This is provided that you have not been exposed to these 8 strains. However, it will not protect you against HPV type 52, as you have already been exposed to it. The vaccine is best done before exposure to the HPV type. HPV type 16 and 18 still account for about 70% of cervical cancers, and type 6 and 11 cause about 90% of genital warts.
