question text	Her Majesty's Government whether, in the light of the significant increase in the number of cases of postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS) reported as an adverse reaction to HPV vaccination since July 2015, they will ask the European Medicines Agency to review the safety signal.

More than three million girls have been vaccinated against HPV since 2008 across the United Kingdom, and the MHRA’s evaluation remains that the number of reports does not exceed what would be expected to occur in the absence of HPV vaccine and that the evidence does not suggest a causal association with the vaccine.</p><p> </p><p>The MHRA does not currently propose to ask the EMA to conduct a further review. As with the safety of all vaccines and medicines, this issue will remain under review.</p> answering member printed Lord O'Shaughnessy question first answered 03/07/2017 16:44:42 answering member 4545 label Biography information for Lord O'Shaughnessy
