Hey I was just wondering if anyone could
tell me more about the HPV vaccine. I know
that it consists of 3 shots over a 6 month
period and it's recommended for girls
between like 13 and 26 years of age. I've
also read that the most common side
effects were soreness at injection site
and maybe some dizziness. My sister's
doctor recommended it and I decided to
look up more stuff about it and I thought
maybe the ehealth community could help me
out. Any info is welcome! Thanx!

Go to the website [removed]. This should
hel pyo uout lots. My daughter just
finished her series of shots. Yes, the
injections sites a little sore, but
nothing you can't deal with. These shots
are well worth the trip to protect you
against the many strains of HPV. HPV can
cause genital warts which lead to cervical
cancer. Other than the soreness, she had
no other problems. Check out this website
and read up! Hope this helps!

All I know is that my insurance doesn't
cover it.

Fairy Godmother: thanks for the website. I
looked at it and did find it very helpful.
I plan to show my mother and sister later
on, thanx again!
Georgia: that sucks about the insurance, I
heard that some do and some don't. I have
to remember to find out if ours does so
thanks for the reminder!
