My daughter got her first shot just a couple of weeks ago and she said that the medicine stings a lot when they inject into your body.
She received her HPV shot in her upper arm, but they also said that the shot can be given in the hip depending on the weight of the person being injected.

Both of my daughters have had the shots. The first two were injected in their behinds and the third one in the upper arm. I now have piece of mind and wish they had this vaccine years ago. Both of my daughters said the shot stung somewhat, and both their behinds was sore for a day or two after. Nothing serious though. As a Mother of 13 and 15 year old girls I feel their good health is very important. I take them to the Doctor for physicals yearly. We have a wonderful pediatrician. He actually takes time with my girls and I have never felt rushed. Whenever the girls are sick (which is rarely) He'll see them right away. When he examines both of them it's not just listen to the heartbeat and off you go. A physical means a physical. Everything is checked. They are told to remove everything except their bra and underpants. As you can imagine, they don't like this very much especially when Doctor has to check their genital area. But I have tried to make them realize how important it is to have a good physical.
