- Soreness, redness, or swelling where the shot is given can happen after HPV vaccine
- Fever or headache can happen after HPV vaccine
People sometimes faint after medical procedures, including vaccination. Tell your healthcare professional if you feel dizzy or have vision changes or ringing in the ears.
