Am I Too Old to get the HPV Shot??

i'm 26 and i saw my doctor to see if i can get the HPV shot. She told me I was "too old." I came home and did some research. (I should've done it before my doctor's visit) and in all the online research, they indicated that women over 26 were now getting the shots.The student doctor kind of gave herself away when she told me she would find out if my insurance covered it. When i asked my regular doctor how i knew if my insurance covered the three HPV shots, that's when she said i was too old.

I have a feeling she might have said that because my insurance didn't cover it. i'm upset now. i think i'm changing doctors. i don't understand why i couldn't get the shot.

the best thing to do is to seek the opinion of two or more other doctors about age restriction conserning the HPV shots. it they contradict what your doctor told you then you have another decision to make; do you take the shot? and do you leave your current doctor for another?
