Gardasil Vaccine - side effects reporting

Due to the recent controversy about the Gardasil vaccine and its potential side effects for young girls, I think you might be interested to draw attention on your website to a few places that allow parents and their child to report any side effects since getting the vaccine. 

Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS) – A government program for vaccine safety, co-sponsored by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

RateADrug.com – Quick 5 minute, anonymous Gardasil survey. RateADrug is a community site for sharing experiences and learning about risks and benefits of prescription medications and alternative treatments. Post comments and view other people's experiences with Gardasil.

National Vaccine Information Center (NVIC) – Longer, more in depth questionnaire. This is a non-profit organization that advocates vaccine safety and preventing vaccine injury through education.
