The vaccine is actually for HPV (Human Papilloma Virus!) which can lead to cervical cancer. I haven't had the shots because they haven't researched the long-term affects of it. It's only been studied for 3 years - who knows? Every women who's had it may become sterile with the long-term affects and not be able to have her own children. Just a thought. Best of luck!

The vaccination is not for cervical cancer, it's for HPV which can lead to cervical cancer. I haven't had it, but it is a good option for sexually active women.

Actually, the HPV vaccine is a good option BEFORE a girl becomes sexually active.

I just had my first dose of it. I still have to go back 2 more times for the 2nd two shots. It was covered by my insurance and I figured why not, better safe than sorry.
