Is the vaccine subsidised in your country? If it is, will you be getting it, are you eligible?
The vaccine is available here in April and I hopefully will be getting it.

The vaccine is available here. There are commercials all over the tv for it.I am not elegible cause I am over 26, the cut off age to get it. My daughters will be getting it when they turn nine.It is great that they have found such a vaccine to help against cervical cancer.

No. Not only am I over the age that they usually give the shot (I'm 33), but I was also diagnosed as having one of the viruses that it vaccinates against at my very first exam. I was also diagnosed as being precancerous at the time. For various reasons they did not do the surgery on me right away. I ended up going in about 2 years ago with stage 4 cancer. I'm still going in for my checkups but everything looks good so far.

I am able to get it, and I'm going to. I hate having shots/needles, but I will suck it up and get it. It could end up saving my life, and I realize how incredibly important that is.
