A 14-year-old girl has died after being given a cervical cancer jab as part of a national immunisation programme, but the exact cause of death is unknown.
The pupil took ill at Blue Coat CofE School in Coventry shortly after she received the Cervarix vaccine. She died in the town's University Hospital.
The batch of the vaccine used has been quarantined by the local NHS.
The injection offers protection against a sexually transmitted disease, which is linked to most cervical cancers.
A routine programme of vaccinating 12- and 13-year-old girls started in September 2008 across the UK using the Cervarix vaccine made by GlaxoSmithKline. A catch-up campaign is now under way for older girls.
The injection offers protection against the human papilloma virus (HPV), the most common cause of cervical cancer.
'Urgent investigation'
The girl, who has not yet been named, died at lunchtime on Monday.

The first H1N1 vaccine to arrive in the USA is for healthy people ages 2 - 49. It's H1N1 FluMist.
If you take the H1N1 FluMist, you will in fact become a carrier of the H1N1 flu. Information on this drug states that you can and will shed the virus for up to 21 days. This means that you can spread the H1N1 virus to other people for 21 days.
The CDC allows this vaccine on the market so the CDC must actually want the H1N1 virus to spread through the population. We should fire the CDC.
wow was that guy for real he said he isnt worried about swine flu because he is a VEGETARIAN???? was he joking or was it an example yet again of how mind controlled people really are??? it never fails to amaze me just how mind controlled we have been and still continue to be.
