Question: Im 14 my doctor told me to take the hpv vaccine to be protected in the future should i!?
Answers:
First of all, your doctor should have suggested it only!.!.!. this is the recommendation by the American Pediatric Association as well!.

The HPV vaccine, gardasil, was designed to protect women from the four most common human papilloma viruses: types 6, 11, 16 and 18!. Types 6 and 11 cause most of the genital warts , while types 16 and 18 cause most cervical cancers!. So prevention is the prudent thing to do!.

The vaccine is intended to prevent women from catching the hpv viruses before they have contact!.!.!. given that the viruses are sexually transmitted, it is best to immunize young women before they become sexually active!.

Are there risk in getting this vaccine!? yes!.!.!. but reportedly, these are minor!. I would suggest reading the section on Safety in the wiki link below!. What you need to consider before deciding is are you or do you think you will be more at risk from the side effects or the diseases these viruses cause!? Only you can make that determination!.

If you were my daughter asking me!.!.!. knowing what I know about cervical cancer and genital warts (as a medical doctor) and their treatments, I would suggest she have the vaccine!.

Hope this helps!. PeaceWww@Answer-Health@Com

Ask mom what she thinks!. I worry about it b/c we still don't know the long term side effects of it!. If you don't have sex, and then when you do you have sex in the future you use a condom, then I don't see why you would need it!.

Then again, I do know a girl who got hpv and now has a higher risk of cervical cancer!. Www@Answer-Health@Com

Of course, the HPV Vaccine will protect you for any future problems you may run into as a women!. I have not had it personally b/c i am a little to old to do it but get it while your young, so you can have a normal life with out that problem haunting you!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
