Symptom narrative

To Whom It May Concern, I am writing to express my grave concern regarding a serious adverse reaction my daughter experienced following the administration of the Gardasil HPV vaccine. On 2/26/2025, she received her second dose to the vaccine, and shortly afterward, she suffered an episode of syncope followed by two seizures. This event has left us deeply worried about her health and well-being, and we are seeking your assistance in understanding the potential connection between the vaccine and this serious reaction. My daughter was in good health prior to receiving the vaccine, and the timing of the syncope and seizure immediately following vaccination has led us to wonder whether there may be underlying factors that could predispose her to such a response. Given the seriousness of this incident, I am requesting more information on whether there are any specific guidelines or recommendations regarding pre-vaccination testing, such as blood work or screenings, to identify individuals who might be at increased risk for adverse reactions. In particular, tests for underlying conditions that could contribute to episodes of syncope, seizures, or other reactions could be valuable in ensuring the safety of all vaccine recipients. Additionally, we would appreciate any information on known adverse effects of the Gardasil vaccine that might be related to syncope or seizures, and whether these side effects are typically reported in the context of your post-marketing surveillance. We also seek guidance on the next steps in addressing my daughter's health and ensuring proper medical care moving forward. We are very concerned about the potential risks associated with this vaccine, and we strongly believe that proactive testing could be a critical step in preventing adverse reactions in the future. Thank you for your attention to this matter. We look forward to hearing from you and receiving the guidance and support we need to ensure my daughter's safety and well-being. Sincerely
