Thoughtful question: Gardasil was developed over > 20 years of research to help prevent infection with a virus that is known to cause cervical cancer. Blood samples from college clinics noted as much as 70% showing evidence of past infection, so it is not a rare event.If a person is never going to be exposed (have sex) either willingly or forced, it is not needed, if not, they do.Side effects are minimal.

Great potential : Gardasil is a safe, low risk vaccination that has great potential benefit in the primary prevention of hpv, which is a cancer-causing virus. It also protects against genital warts. It is especially effective in adolescents. No major side effects have been reported. You should make every effort to get vaccinated and educate others about it.
