's message, "cervical cancer shot" on 06:49:31 06/21/09 Sun
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.

My daughter has also had her shots for hpv. She recieved all of them in the rump. She said it hurt some. Like you Kathy, I have a good pediatrician for her. He examines everything on her too. She gets a little embarrassed but I think you would agree that a little embarrassment is a small price to pay for good healthcare.

My daughters are 16 and 17 and both recently got their shots. They had heard from their friends that it made their arms sore. I asked the nurse to give them their shots in their butt and she said that is fine. They could have killed me. One by one I watched as they dropped their jeans and had their butt bared in front of each other. My 16 year old went first. She piched her butt and jabbed her and she jumped and did a little dance afterward. My 17 year old tensed up her utt as she saw the needle coming and the nurse gave her butt a quick smack which turned her bottom bright red and then stuck her. They kidded each other on the way home as who put up the most fight.
