HPV Vaccine and Flu Shot?

Rating:
(votes: 0)


I haven't finished my 3 series of HPV Vaccine. The last dose is on the last week of November.

Do u guys recommend to get the flu shot despite not finishing the last dose of HPV?

Scared flu shot might trigger something and the side effect GBS :-/
There should be no interaction between the two. We give flu shots to children all the time, who haven't even started the HPV series. There's no reason to think that the flu shot would cause any issue with HPV or the vaccine.

Comment:
We cannot give medical advice here, you should discuss your concerns with your MD. GBS is an exceedingly rare complication of vaccines and, I believe it's actually more common after viral illnesses than vaccines. Why would you think getting both vaccines together would trigger GBS? Children get multiple vaccines at once all the time.
