do more research...just as it is "said" to prevent HPV no one knows the long term effects yet or official sideeffects and noticce how the government is the biggest sponnser for it and they are charging for it instead of having it paid for like otherr vacccines? i think more research should be done on it

I wouldn't recommend getting the shot. It has only been studied for the past 3 years - there are unsure of the long-term side effects that could come with this shot in a few years! Who knows? Every woman who has ever had the shot could become sterile and not be able to have her own children. Nobody knows the long-term effects, so the possibilites of what could happen are endless! The shot doesn't even protect against all the strains of HPV - only the 4 most common strains. Try doing more research and rethink your decision. Best of luck!

Do more research.
There are NO LONG TERM STUDIES done to this vaccine!
It also says "it MAY prevent cervical cancer". So, it may NOT work!
It does not protect against ALL forms of cervical cancer either.
I would not get this shot until more research has been done to it.
PLEASE, rethink this.

doesnt protect against all strains of hpv but you will be less like to develop cancer through hpv.
