There's a concern among some of my female friends that the HPV vaccine may cause nerve damage, but I'm unable to find a good study examining the links between the vaccine and autoimmune-related nerve damage. Can someone point me towards one?
As far as I know there is no such paper linking HPV vaccination and nerve damage.
Studies have not documented association of HPV vaccination and nerve damage.
Hi there
Her are some!

Hi,
you can find summaries regarding safety data on following sites:
http://www.who.int/vaccine_safety/Jun_2009/en/index.html
http://www.cdc.gov/vaccinesafety/Vaccines/HPV/Index.html
JAMA. 2009;302(7):750-757. doi:10.1001/jama.2009.1201
In general it is accepted that the HPV vaccines are safe and the risk-benefit-analysis is positive
In case you're still looking, here is a epidemiological study investigating a rather large cohort for adverse affects following HPV vaccination:
