QUOTE The vaccine, Gardasil®, protects against four HPV types, which together cause 70% of cervical cancers and 90% of genital warts. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) recently licensed this vaccine for use in girls/women, ages 9-26 years. The vaccine is given through a series of three shots over a six-month period. credit- http://www.cdc.gov/std/HPV/STDFact-HPV-vaccine.htm has anyone else gotten it? i got my first dose today. |

I am petrified of needles, so they always have to get me when I least expect it. But I sort of expect that they'll do it when I least expect it, but they're usually pretty good and quick and I can't feel them. But I hate hate hate hate hate them. |
