Have you gotten the Gardasil vaccine?

Yes, I got it a year or so ago. Since there is a history of cervical cancer in my family, it just made sense to take the precaution. And, yes, it hurt, but it wasn't THAT bad (at least for me).

I got the vaccine when I was in college so maybe 7-8 years ago. I honestly don't remember it being painful or getting sick after it

I got it a few years ago and yes it hurt a lot but I just kept thinking getting cancer would hurt more.

I am old and married, so no. I don't agree with vaccinations and I have had family who had serious reactions to them and I wouldn't get it for my boys. When they are adults they can make that decision themselves based on information. And, I am a registered nurse.

No, I haven't, I'm not vaccinated for much of anything. I was offered it, but I didn't have money for it and I'm really wary about vaccines.

I'm not skeptical, I'm just not sexually active. There's no real need for me to bother.

When it first came out I asked my child's pediatrician if they had it available when we were at the clinic for something else. They did. I then asked to have my son vaccined.
Well it's not approved for boys, I was told. Would it harm a boy? No... but the insurance won't pay for it. So how much would it be without insurance? Oh maybe $250... Fine l'll write you a check.
Even then that fat head doc wouldn't do it! My respect for the medical profession diminished substantially, that day.
Some years later with a different doc my son was vaccinated.
