No. It is a vaccine that prevents Cervical cancer and other HPV infections. It is a new vaccine, so there are no long term studies available yet. However, all the data so far show it to be safe.

Does the gardisel shot hurt?
The Gardasil shot hurts worse than almost any other shot I can think of. I got all three rounds of Gardasil last year. I got three other shots at the time of the first Gardasil (flu shot, tetanus shot, and meningitis), and the first Gardasil hurt worse than any of them. The second shot hurt worse than the first one, and the third one hurt worse than the second and the first one. It is worth it though, cancer is even worse. If you are getting the Gardasil shots, ask the nurse or doctor to inject a local anesthesia before the actual vaccine so that it doesn't hurt as bad.

It has not been studied in women, only in animal trials, so it is considered Pregnancy Category B (probably safe).
