It should be free, that's ridiculous. If it is successful and you have the vaccine without contracting HPV, it can pretty much completely cut down your chances of getting ovarian cancer completely. How sad  Australian researchers are the ones who I guess were responsible for the success of the vaccine, maybe that's why it's so prominent here. It should be free everywhere for adolescent boys and girls, ridiculous. |
I can't remember how much it costs but it's quite costly. It's free for girls and boys in junior high/middle school (the schools have a vaccination program), but when the vaccine came out here I was already in high school. 11th grade I think.
