I ask that proper notification be given to parents in the future about possible side-effects. We are not asking the Minister of State to take the drug off the market. Parents need to be given the correct advice when the vaccination programme is taking place in schools. Parents should be notified in advance and allowed to make a decision after highlighting to them the possible or coincidental side-effects. I am aware of many cases around east Kerry, Killarney, Farranfore and other places in which vaccinations have changed the lives of girls and their families completely. All we are asking is for parents to be given proper information about the potential side-effects.
