Anyone know if i can get the HPV vaccine?

I'm 22, when they introduced the vaccine to my area i was a few months too old to receive it and to be honest not really very bothered. I now realise it is probably a good idea and there are still benefits to getting it as at 22 i may not have been introduced to all the different strains of hpv.
Does anyone know if i can get it on the nhs, i don't mind paying but i just have no idea how to go about getting it.
Don't really want to waste my GPs time if he's just going to tell me i can't get it done so any experiences?

I got it aged 35 from LLoybs pharmacy

Boots do it too

Not cheap, but it's the vaccine that is expensive- they aren't bumping the price up!

LLoyds pharmacy even.

Whoa, definitely not cheap. May have to save the pennies for a couple of weeks. Thanks for the link MsThinks.
