Pain in adolescent girls receiving human papillomavirus vaccine with concomitantly administered vaccines

Pediatr Infect Dis J. 2015 Feb;34(2):200-2. doi: 10.1097/INF.0000000000000537.

Abstract

Using the Faces Pain Scale - Revised, we assessed injection site pain 10 minutes after vaccination in young females randomized to receive either quadrivalent human papillomavirus vaccine (HPV4) before or after concomitantly administered vaccines. Although pain was modestly more after HPV4 injection than after other vaccines, the pain intensity after HPV4 injection was significantly less in those who received HPV4 before receiving other concomitant vaccines.
