Answers:
I think you must be talking about the shot for cervical cancer!. There is no shot that I know of for herpes!. The shot to prevent some types of HPV that lead to cervical cancer is called Gardasil!. The shot is a good idea, but you should do some research on it before you get it!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Maybe she said it's the HPV jab - which is the anti-cervical cancer jab!.

HPV is the Human Papilloma Virus

I'm including a link to a UK cancer research website which gives you loads of info about it!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Was it the new shot for cervical cancer!? That could be right!. It's not herpes though but guards against a virus that can eventually cause cervical cancer!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
