i would say its the new hpv shot, which prevents girls from getting the human papaloma virus (that commericial on tv, "tell someone" ... ring a bell) i'm pretty sure it goes into your upper arm and it hurts a little afterward, like a tetnus shot... but yeah it prevents certain types of a virus that can lead to cancer, so what would you rather have.. a life-threatening illness, or a shot? i think i know what i would go for.. lol ]
They have an new vaccine for girls as young as 9 year old that protects against the HPV (human papilloma) virus. That could be what you are meaning.
I wasn't aware it was mandatory in any states. If it is yours sure moved fast on it!
It isn't anything that can hurt you. It is to help prevent cervical cancer. Here is a website that has the information on it. Has a news video as well.
