Cervical cancer jab

[WanderingOkapi]

Please let me know any for or against info. I am stressed and haven't got the time to research.

Cervarix is the vac currently in use, but it doesn't give quite as much protection as Gardasil, which is available privately.

here you go - from some respected and mainstream websites. Good luck.

If you have specific concerns which are making you stressed, I suggest you contact your GP to discuss.

NHS is giving Gardasil now (now that DD has had Cervarix, urgh). I am for it, saving for DS to get Gardasil in the next couple of years...

Thank you so much. Just stressed with demands of life generally at the mo and can't decide what to do re consent for dd jab.

looking at this

Me too.

I was an MMR detractor and DD had single jabs. Now this has come up and I am feeling a bit wibbly about it.

Off to read the links.

"Saving for DS to have Gardasil in a couple of years".
How much does it cost? - I was thinking about this too. (DD has had Cervarix, but wondering about her getting Gardasil too).
