A question for the ladies

[DocumentaLy]

Are you vaccinated against HPV?

 

For those who don't know why I'm asking this, the article that inspired this thread: http://www.theatlantic.com/health/archive/2013/11/the-cancer-vaccine/281365/

[gyu]

I am. 

[Nurse XIA]

Yes, I am. 

[MomoMoon115]

Yup. 

[Kuu-sus]

yes

[Regina]

No. I probably should.

[Ashelin]

Yes.

[Ohsogrey]

No.  In Britain (where I'm from) it's offered to all females who are in year 8 at school (12-13 yr olds) but I'd already left school by the time this was introduced.  My only chance of protection now is regular visits to the lady dr.  It's a shitty task ladies but if you're of an age where you're at risk please see your doctor for regular check ups! 

[Grape Soda]

Nope........but then again I'm not having sex

[sofi]

I know its offered in schools in Canada and NZ at around that age as well. I'm pretty sure its offered in Australia and the US too but I'm not definite. If anyone knows of other countries where its is offered in the schools could you list them please

[Delincious]

no

[wings]

No. As far as I know, since a few years in my Country the HPV vaccine is only suggested but not obligatory for women from 12 to 45 years old.

[panda]

Yeah my age group at the time were the one of the first to have it done nationally. So many arm punches.

Yeah in victoria, australia they offered it with HepB and chickenpox/measles (I can't remember which) in year 7 (12 years old) so I had them then. I think they still do but I haven't been in school for a while.
