Answers:
Well, if you put it all in one, that's a LOT of vaccination. What vaccinations do is build up your immune system--if all 3 were put together it wouldn't have the same effect.
And if not the muscle, where else? It has to be put where your immune system can get to it, so the muscle is the best shot. (I doubt you want to swallow viruses with deconstructed genetic material.)
The same program is used for Hepatitis B, it hurt like HECK, but I am so happy I'm protected against it. If you have the slightest open-minded-ness towards sleeping with someone outside of marriage, Gardasil can save your life--which is so worth a few moments of pain, right?
P.S. I'm 16 and have not received the Gardasil vaccination. If you yourself do not want it, look it up and see what it does. It prevents cervical cancer--not stops it, just prevents. My mother and I agreed that I'd only consider receiving it if they came up with a guys version (it takes two to tango if you know what I mean). Try talking with your parents about it if you're terrified.
