Type of diabetes
Type 1
Treatment type
Insulin
In the UK, the vaccine used against HPV is Cervarix, NOT Gardasil - see http://www.immunisation.nhs.uk/Vaccines/HPV/
Generally, having diabetes has no impact on vaccinations - except perhaps extra concern / sympathy from others having vaccines, who think that all injections are intramuscular with larger needles than subcutaneous insulin!

i'm just posting this incase any other parent try to find anything relating to this, my Daughter was tired after recieving her first injection (course of 3) she came home from school early and went to bed for the afternoon but other than that she was fine. it didn't interfere with her diabetes.
