I salute our scientists for making useful inventions and discovery.Recently I realize that inventions of vaccinations are really helpful to us.My former colleague got cervical cancer and my former classmate now has liver cancer.I am curious about the effects of those diseases.And I realize that hepatitis B and hpv vaccines can be really helpful to each and every one of us.
It is advised that people should get those vaccines before getting viruses such as hepa b and hpv virus.While there is a screening for hepa b, I heard that there is no screening for hpv virus for men already.Although not all hpv virus don't lead to cancer, it is recommended that one has to have hpv vaccine for three doses whether you are a man or a woman.Hpv virus can make women to have cervical cancer and this type of cancer can develop for about 10 to 15 years.
That's why awareness is important.I got myself vaccinated before against rabies, covid and even for flu.And I may consider myself to have hepa-b and hpv virus vaccines in the future.
In your case, what vaccines have you already had?

I agree there is a place for vaccines, but I also they aren't the cure-all, prevention you are expecting. Just like with any medicine there are risks, benifits, and failure rates. Before taking any medication (vaccines included) be sure the risk is worth any possible benifit for you and your situation.
When I was a kid, I got all required vaccines (with the exclusion of chicken pox). Growing up, it was believed it was better for a child to develop a natural immunity to chicken pox, by allowing the child to get it. As an adult, I do not take any vaccines. I would rather take my chance with the dease it may be trying to prevent. Including Covid and the flu.

Vaccines a a big development. They are beneficial too but come with their own sets of complications and side effects. I have got vaccinated for most of the diseases that was available at our times. I took two shots of Covid vaccine too.
