SCHOOLGIRLS were so frightened and anxious about getting vaccinated against cervical cancer that their reaction ”bordered on hysteria”, a new research paper shows.
The fear was so extreme that girls began crying, screaming and fainting during school vaccination days.
Researchers from the University of Sydney and the Children’s Hospital at Westmead found that when this intense fear was witnessed by classmates waiting to get the needle, anxiety levels jumped even more.
