Schoolgirl dies after being given cervical cancer jab

A 14-year-old schoolgirl has died after being given a vaccine to protect against cervical cancer as part of the national immunisation programme. Some of her classmates suffered side-effects such as dizziness and nausea.

Natalie Morton, a pupil at Blue Coat Church of England school in Coventry, died yesterday afternoon at the city’s University Hospital hours after receiving Cervarix.

Julie Roberts, head of the school, which has 1,350 pupils, said in a letter to parents that the girl had suffered a “rare but extreme reaction to the vaccine”. She added: “A number of other girls also reported being unwell and some were sent home.” She asked parents to be vigilant. It is understood that none of the other girls who reported side effects was admitted to hospital.

Last October another girl suffered a mystery illness that came on 30 minutes after she was given the jab and resulted in paralysis from the waist down. Ashleigh Cave, a pupil at Maricourt Catholic High School in Liverpool, was said to have suffered dizziness and headaches before collapsing several times over the following days. A week later she was admitted to Alder Hey hospital after losing all strength in her legs.

She is now 13 and has spent almost all of the past 12 months in hospital.

Her mother, Cheryl Cave, said: “I have been trying for a year to get the NHS to admit there is a serious problem with these injections, but they are just in denial. I look at Ashleigh every day and I feel guilty because I signed the consent form. Every mother should think long and hard before they put their daughter at risk.”

Friends of Natalie paid tribute to her last night. Charmaine Dunn-Myria, 15, a fellow pupil at Blue Coat, said: “There were girls crying in the corridors. No one could believe what has happened. I had the jab myself today. I never knew you could get sick from it or even die.”
