Going for my Cervical Cancer Vaccine!

Hi guys,
I guess this is a little of-topic, but I just made the appointment to go in and get my Cervical Cancer Vaccine (HPV Vaccine) in 2 weeks. I'm pretty excited, since I Think it's such a great benefit. I'm 26 now, so i'm just at the cutoff end for being abole to get the shot.

I think it's a great thing to be able to get a shot that can prevent me from getting cancer later on in life. It's amazing what advances medicine has come to over the years, isn't it?

I just thought I'd share that with you all. I think it's something all young women should talk to their doctors about getting..

I would side with your doctor's encouragement for most situations. They're the expert and can refer what is best for you. It'll be expensive for you if your insurance will not be covering the cost yet. If it's not covered yet, might want to talk to your insurance co and see if they have plans in the future to have coverage for the vaccine. Maybe it's not too far off in the distance that you could wait a few months for the vaccine series, and save yourself some dough.
