I’m 16 and didn’t have the vaccinations at school last year. Nt sure if I should get it or not. Has anyone had it, can they tell me about it?

yup ive had it. u get 3 vaccinations ova 3 terms. side effects aren’t dat bad.. at the most i gt was a really sore arm n a headache.. bh really depends on ur body. prevents cervical cancer to worsen or sumtyn. it was pretty ok.

The Vaccination doesn’t stop you from getting Cervical cancer it only helps you in it getting worse

Heey

I am gettin them this yr and im real scared. Im 12.
I get told its real sore.
I reckon u should get it though, coz i am, and, well, it stops u from dieing, almost.

xoxo Good luck

My mum & I have talked & researched about it & Im not getting it. We found a few cases that people have gotten the disease from the vaccine & others that have fainted etc. We also heard of someone that died though we couldnt find anything about it so I would say it is untrue. As long as you use protection & get checked as reccomended, in the unlikely case you do get it, it will be detected early & cured. Think about your decision carefully though. xx

I’m not getting it cos its not full proof and some people have got cervical cancer from it.

There’s been heaps of rumours flying around about this one. If you want some facts, there’s an article on 24/7 Girl here:

I got it, no side effects, didnt hurt.  I think there is anecdotal evidence of adverse side effects,  If you want proper information i would read proper medical reports from real research not whats just posted on the net

No not yet.

I had mine last year, but for one of the vaccinations, I wasn’t even 12. It gave me a sore arm for 10 minutes but that was it. The last one hurt more, but overall it’s not too bad =]

I got all 3 last year and its totally safe. Why would they give you vaccinations that could kill you? Cause this one doesn’t. Trust me! My mum said YES definetly because she wants to protect me from stuff like cancer. No one likes needles, but they could save your life!

I agree with this poster.

I am not getting it because of pretty much the same reasons.

Someone has died from it. In the USA.
I read it on the news.

I have had all 3, im 18 years old ad am glad to get them.
I only had a sore arm for a day then i was fine.
yea some people have side effects and there are always rumours flying around about vaccines but me and all my friends have had the vaccine and we are fine its worth getting it. it could prevent this deadly disease

I got it when I was twelve and it wasn’t that bad, I have a huge fear of needles but I still got it. If you’ve had the meningacocil or waterver one then you should know how it feels!

i have had all of the jabs they dont stop you from getting it but they do prevent it though the also can help with thrush and stuff like that my mate fainted on me so that was preety scary but the first one is ok u cant lift ur arm above ur head tho the second one they give you the canser and the third one they get rid of the canser but it doesnt hurt my cousin has resiently had the booster and the really hurt her she said it was worth it tho xxx hope u get it i am only 12

you can wait and have it done in a few years if you want, no harm in that, check out the website and make your own decision, my daughter decided not to for now, she wants to wait and see the effects over the next few years.
I thought the vaccine only lasted for 5 years, but you check it out.
good luck and keep us posted on what you decide….
