The REGRET Group recently received a list of all the adverse reactions 
reported to the Irish Health Regulatory Authority (HPRA) following 
vaccination with the HPV vaccine Gardasil. Analysis is ongoing, but one 
week in particular stood out (the last week of 2013) because three cases 
of a very rare immune system related blood disorder were reported in 
that week. Normal incidence of Idiopathic Thrombocytopenic Purpura (ITP) 
in childhood is approximately 1-4 cases per 100,000 per year in western 
europe. Gardasil is injected into approximately 45,000 Irish school 
girls every year. If, for example, we were to see 3 new ITP cases every 
2 months for that group of schoolgirls, that would represent at least a 
9-fold increase in the expected incidence.
