I believe it has been found that the efficacy of certain vaccines diminishes over time. The vaccination that was supposed to provide "lifetime immunity" to rubella when my kids were little needed to be readministered when they entered college. Under normal circumstances, rubella is a fairly mild childhood disease. The major problems with it occurred to the children of women exposed during pregnancy.

Now it has been found that the immunity diminishes when young people are in their peak childbearing years, thereby exposing a child in utero to the devastating consequences of rubella.

That was an unforeseen consequence of the rubella vaccine.

Many women who get HPV do not get cervical cancer. Probably the vast majority of them do not. Could there be unforeseen consequences to Gardisil which could be worse than HPV?
