Thats the slogan for Gardasil. Gardasil is an injection that helps protect against diseases caused by HPV~Human Papillomaviris mainly Cervical Cancer. You get a series of three shots. One now, second in two months and third in 6 months from now. Then your good. Its a very good idea for women to get this shot. Especially if you have had abnormal Paps. I just got my first shot today. It wasnt actually that bad. It stung a little and my arm hurt for like 20 min but now Im fine. I really think this is a good idea for women! One Less thing you have to worry about!

Well, did you realize there are age restrictions if you are above somewhere in the 20's...I think it was 26 or 27...your insurance company does not cover it.
Geez..I guess us older folks are disposable.

Yep its 26. Im 25 so Im covered. I think it shouldnt have a age restriction as far as insurance goes. Thats not fair to the older women like my mom per say. She would have to pay. Not sure how much but Im sure its not cheep.

Wow... this is a real breakthrough in the fight against Cervical Cancer... i wonder if this is available world wide? If not... when can it be available in my country... Philippines? A lot of woment here (some my relatives) have cervical cancer... this will be a great help for those who are willing to take the shots...

You would have to ask your doctor if this is avalible where you live. If not it should be soon.
