HPV vaccine

HPV vaccines have been developed to protect again human papillomavirus infection. HPV refers to a group of viruses, and some of these, including HPV 16 and HPV 18, cause cervical cancer or other serious illness. The recent use of different HPV vaccines has led to a number of studies looking at HPV vaccine safety, including whether any of the HPV vaccines may increase the risk of developing ME/CFS.
