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. |

My teacher went like insane on my class during health last year trying to get all the girls to get this shot because she said it was really beneficial. I want to get it while my insurance still says I'm young enough for them to cover it for me. I don't want to have to pay for it. Haha.
