Gardisil side effect

My 13 year old daughter developed breast tenderness and then a golfball size lump in her breast about 1 month after her first injection of Gardisil.  She spent 4 days in the hospital with a range of IV antibiotics.  I did not think of the 2 being related at the time.  Have similar side effects been reported (or possibly underreported)?

My daughter had her first shot and broke out with what I thought was poison ivy on her back, which moved onto her chest and breast.  After several Dr. visits she was diagnosed with shingles.  I haven't read anyone else having this problem, but I think this could come out as a later date as a side effect (long term).

I've not heard of such a side effect of the vaccine... Gardisil is a very recent discovery... but at least we've something that keeps our hopes high... There are no substantial studies available... like duration of immunity is unknown... When researching the effectiveness of the vaccine they utilized adult data to “predict” the immune response in children which does not meet scientific research standards. evidence the vaccine prevents anything when given to children ages 9-12. Maximum median follow up in ANY of the studies was 4 years. Sexually transmitted HPV requires 10 or more years from time of infection to development of cervical cancer.
