This is the first cohort of folks that age who were offered the HPV vaccine when they were 12 or 13.

Expect even more dramatic results as that group enters their 30s & 40s.

My insurance tried to argue with my doctor over whether they would give it to me. They said it was “experimental “ but my doctor was able to argue that they were wrong and got them to approve it after all.

If your pharmacist hooked you up like that I’m jealous! So much easier.
