HPV Vaccination Shot Killed UK Teen

The British teen who died after being vaccinated against human papillomavirus had “a serious underlying medical condition,” health officials said today, and it is “most unlikely” that the shot, intended to prevent cervical cancer, killed 14-year-old Natalie Morton. An official at Morton’s school is skeptical. “I have seen Natalie’s file,” he tells the Telegraph, “and there is nothing on it to suggest that she had any underlying health problems.”
