[QUOTE="Nancy, post: 118252, member: 59"] It's only two shots, two months apart. difficult child did not complain of any pain after but she did say it hurt when she gave it. The dr told her it was a very painful shot to get but she had no pain the next day. It was a no brainer for me. difficult child is a high risk for HPV. Even though we know she is not sexually active right now her past behavior makes us realize this vaccine will be important for her in the future. We have urged easy child to get it also, although she says she plans on being abstinent until marriage. I still think if there is a vaccine that can help prevent cervical cancer and HPV and genital warts, it's important to consider very carefully. I know my gyn strongly recommends it for young women. I asked him if I should get it and he just laughed :(. by the way at my last pap test he did another screening test for the HPV virus that causes cervical cancer and said if that was negative I only needed a pap test every three years. Has anyone else done that? I was shocked when I got the bill for $500 though, and insurance didn't cover it. Nancy [/QUOTE]
