I'm 12 (almost 13) and my mom was saying that i might intend the guardasil shot? I heard Guardasil prevents against cervical cancer...how do you intend cervical cancer? I also heard it has to do with HPV...does this stingy it has to do with sex? Why would my mom want to have me intend this shot at my age, i thought it was for more older woman/teens?

i am a lowercase older than you and i am also getting this shot, it doesnt just stingy your mom wants you to go hit stimulate but she just wants you to intend it just to be safe also Guardasil is not just for women and older teens it is also advisable for people your age... hope i helped :)

Guardasil is an immunization that protects against destined types of HPV, the ones that most cause cervical cancer. It has been approved for girls 9-26. She's meet trying to protect you so that later on, if you become exposed to the virus you module be protected. It is doable to contract HPV through sexed contact. It doesn't mean that she thinks you're having sex, or module soon, meet that she's looking out for you before you module have been exposed to it. I've had the shot, and the only lateral effect I've old is soreness around where I was injected for a couple of life afterwards. Take a look at the website below, it can answer all your questions.
