    There's no evidence at the moment that the jab killed her.

    Oh I know that, after spending the night talking to the oh about it (he is a doc/lecturer and me a chemist), this was the conclusion we came too...

    According to my oh the testing on the vaccine was only carried out in women over the age of 25, which have a completely different hormone balance than a young girl. He said that during the trials they had many problem with allergic reachtions and also infections in the muscle as well as on the point of entry of the neddle.. To him the symptoms described on a medical news site last night suggested it...

    I am in favour of the vaccine though as if it will minimise the risk of cancer to these young girls,it is a terrible disease to have, I have seen it first hand.

    That's incorrect, gardasil and cervarix (both the vaccines) were both tested on women/girls aged fifteen upwards, and gardasil was tested on boys and girls aged ten upwards.

    Also in the news article on BBC which reported this, http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/health/8279855.stm they state that there have been 4,657 suspected reactions to Cervarix from more than 1.4m doses, according to experts which is a slightly different perspective again from that of your OH.
