Cervical Cancer

[bigass]

Was seeing a doctor just when my OC saw the poster regarding the cervical cancer vaccine. Is it really that effective, of course 99% and I believe there will be 1% that she can still get the disease.

According to the brouchure, it also provide info that other sexual transmitted diseases such as genital warts can be prevailed.

Any sister here took the vaccine ? Heard its a 3 doses(forgot which brand the doc recommend me). Would like to find out more on behalf of my OC? Thanks

Fourteen year old Natalie Morton, walked into school yesterday a happy, healthy little girl. Sadly, today she did not and tragically she will never walk through her school gates again. Yesterday Natalie was given one dose of the Cervarix HPV vaccine, the vaccine that the UK Government has portrayed as safe, a vaccine that Glaxo Smith Kline has said over and over is safe. For this little girl Cervarix was not because she died just a few hours later.

U meant this? Gardasil is not a product of Glaxo, correct me if I am wrong. However both are vaccine for Cervial Cancer
