I've gotten my two shots already and late July, I'm getting the third one. To make you feel better, you will be very happy after you get it. Your safe and cervical cancer is a horrible cancer and very painful. I've never had it before but I've read artcles about it. You probably know this already. Sorry, lol.
Okay, my first shot was in and out quickly. It depends on each person the reaction will be. If you watch the comerical carefully, it tells side effects. My side effect was pain near the injection. It didn't last long and was only a few hours. After that, your moving and everything is fine.
My second time, it was the nurse who didn't do it right. It didn't hurt as bad as last time.
It just depends on the person to determine the side effects. My friend got one and she didn't have any pain. My sister got it and she had a little pain also. Hope I helped!

I've already had the first and second injection (There are a total of three). It wasn't too bad. I guess it just depends on your sensitivity to shots. The first time I got it I also had the menengitis shot that day. So I wasn't sure which was which, one hurt for a little bit, the other didn't.
The second time I got it I tensed up which made it hurt. (I'm afraid of needles and didn't have anyone to distract me so I was focusing on it).
If you've done fine with shots in the past then it won't be a big deal.
Just don't focus on it. If you tense up it will hurt. Afterwords do arm circles to relax it some more. That helped me the second time when it hurt and the pain was gone after a few minutes. Normally you're supposed to wait 15 minutes afterwords to make sure you don't have a reaction to the shot (such as an allergic reaction or something). Because I didn't react the 1st time in a negative way they let me leave. I'm not sure if they'll make you wait or not.
Just don't concentrate on it and you'll be fine. It's worth it anyway.

No it doesn't hurt too much, only for a second. If you're scared, just don't look when you're getting it. I got mine at the women's health clinic.

I'm sure its like any other shot. It hurts for a second, then it doesn't. Your arm might get stiff in the next few days, but it will go away quickly.
Good luck, and don't worry.. the shot is over in a few seconds.
