Fainting can happen after getting an HPV vaccine. Sometimes people who faint can fall and hurt themselves. For this reason, your child\u2019s doctor may ask your child to sit or lie down for 15 minutes after he or she gets GARDASIL 9. Some people who faint might shake or become stiff, which may need treatment.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
