Cervical cancer vaccine

How old is she Tinks, 12/13? How would you feel about discussing it all with her, and letting her make the decision?

She's 12. She doesn't want any needles lol. I'm making her have the hep one though.

NO I don't want a debate! I just feel uneasy about this vaccine and wondered if anyone here could tell me about it, good or bad.

I looked at it when it came out, but it seemed too big a risk when it only potentially protects against one strain y'know?

This is probably the only one i am really wary about. I'm not sure if i want my DD to have it.

DH and I have discussed this one many times (with two girls ourselves) and our two have had all the vaccinations also.
I myself had abnormal cervix cells, so when this came out I thought wow that *could* be awesome....but now as time has progressed, and more information has come to light, we are not getting the girls done.
I would say google, but that in itself is quite scary, maybe discuss with GP?
Good luck

i started to have it done, i had the first 2 shots, but didnt know i was utd with dd on the seccond dose, my doctor said she wouldnt have given it to me if we knew and that i couldnt have the third untill i found out if it was ok.
i hunted down the company who made it, and they said there is no studdies been done on its effects in pregnancey, so due to the "lack of knowledge" of its effects it was advised not to have the third dose untill a month after having bub. i never went back to have the third shot, as... well, if they dont have a great deal of research and knowledge on its effects in pregnancey, how can they have enough info to know it is safe for general use IYKWIM?
