Calls for Minister for Education to review the secondary school vaccination programme
Parents have raised concerns about serious side effects of the antiviral drug Gardasil
Calls have been made for The Minister for Education to conduct an urgent review of the secondary schools vaccination programme.
Minister Richard Bruton faced a peaceful protest by the Gardasil Awarness Group when he arrived at the TUI conference in the Clayton Silver Springs Hotel this afternoon.
The HSE vaccination programme has again come under the spotlight over parents concerns about serious side effects they say is caused by the antiviral drug Gardasil.
However, reports from the HSE say Gardasil is safe and prevents the development of the HPV virus which in some women, can cause cervical cancer.
Speaking to RedFM News Sean Wynn whose daughter has been adversely affected by the vaccine, says questions should be asked if the vaccine's benefits outweigh the risks
