I recently attend a vaccination event for cervical cancer. I have always wanted to get vaccinated since 2006 but have always hold back due to the high prices. On average, be prepared to fork out 700 plus for the vaccination which comes in 3 doses.
Recent news however, mentioned that prices had dropped and therefore stirred my interest again. I paid around 300 plus in total for the 3 doses which is a really good bargain.
The first dose left my right arm sore and painful for 3 days. The injection actually hurts. It also left me dizzy for quite a while after the injection and nauseous for the whole day. But that's just me, since I always have a weak immunity system and a drug allergy to benzylpenicillin. More serious side effects reported includes fever, which thankfully did not hit me. There were also reports of death in rare cases (shudder) but it's really really rare I think.
I hope the 2nd dose gets better. But what's a little pain for all the benefits. Like the old saying goes, prevention is better than cure. Cliche but true.
