Gardasil shot

My daughter received the gardasil shot and then within a short period of time was diagnosed with molluscum contagiosum on her leg.  Could the shot had anything to do with this?

Gardisil is very effective if the total protocol is followed. Remember that Gardisil immunizes only for the select few strains associated with cervical cancer. They will not protect for other strains that cause visible genital warts. I hope this clears up your questions. Thanks.

Funny, My daughter had the gardasil shot and has a similar bump on her arm...They are in a cluster of about 4......She also has gotten a couple of fungal infections.  Plenty on girls have gotten genital warts after gardasil..  It is an unproven vaccine.  I call it gardahell.
