A member asked:
What type shot does the gardasil vaccine come in?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Intramuscular: Im, or intramuscular, means it is injected directly into the muscle. Typically, a very thin 1 inch long needle is used, and it takes a couple of seconds to get the shot. Gardasil does make your arm ache for a day or 2 afterwards -- be prepared.
