My story about the HPV vaccine:
In my mid 30s I wanted it, apparently I was past the age it was recommended for so I had to keep asking at Kaiser, every provider I saw I asked them for it. Finally a wonderful “liberal black doctor” (his description of himself) gave me the first one and he told me that they have to give me the other two, he scheduled my next one while I was there.
A couple years later they extended the age to where I would have been included had that been the age the whole time, so I’m glad I made them give it to me.
IT DID NOT HARM MY FERTILITY AT ALL. Demonstrated by the fact that I got pregnant twice in my late 30s despite trying hard not to. Then I had my tubes flat ironed closed. I’m 50 years old and I haven’t started menopause yet, and I’m really sad about that.
I recommend it, as a user of the vaccine. I would get it even if they say you’re too old. Even if you have to pay, it’s less expensive than cancer.
