Sami, Florida: Sami, an honor student prior to her experience with Gardasil, loves living in Florida where she can take advantage of everything the Sunshine state has to offer.
Theme parks were frequently the highlight of her weekends. She loved to go to Sea World, Universal Studios, Islands of Adventures and Bush Gardens where she could ride all the attractions over and over again with her mother. Now, that is no longer an option.
Sami had multiple health problems prior to receiving Gardasil including, type II diabetes, multiple allergies, Blount’s disease and polycystic ovary syndrome. Nevertheless, she lead an active, normal life. All of that changed when she was 14 and received her first shot of Gardasil along with a flu vaccine. Within hours, she was vomiting, feverish and had terrible headaches. She was bedridden for three weeks. When the doctor was questioned about the symptoms, Mom was told, “She must have received a bad flu shot.” Sami continued on with the Gardasil series.
