Vaccines can never be completely safe. There is always the odd chance that the vaccines become contaminated, the injection site becomes infected, or that the person has a severe allergic reaction. There have been a few reports of girls dropping dead within 3 days of the vaccine, but nobody really knows if the vaccine was the cause.

The external viral proteins of the HPV vaccine.
No. It is a preventative.
No, the HPV vaccine does not contain live virus. It cannot cause HPV infection or any related illnesses. Here's why: The vaccine uses virus-like particles (VLPs). These are essentially protein shells that mimic the outer surface of the HPV virus, but lack the genetic material needed for the virus to replicate. When your body encounters these VLPs, it recognizes them as foreign and triggers an immune response. This immune response creates antibodies that can fight off actual HPV infection if you encounter the virus in the future. Therefore, the HPV vaccine is a safe and effective way to prevent HPV infection without introducing any live virus into your body.
There is no evidence that HPV vaccine causes cervical cancer. Because the vaccine doesn't contain live virus, it can't cause HPV disease.
No, the HPV vaccine does not reduce fertility. Extensive research and studies have shown that the vaccine is safe and effective, with no evidence linking it to fertility issues in individuals who receive it. The vaccine primarily protects against certain strains of the human papillomavirus that can lead to cervical cancer and other health problems, not reproductive health.
No, the HPV vaccine shouldn't delay your period - in some rare cases it's been said that HPV has effected womens fertility, but there is no confirmation of this.
