My parents are thinking about letting me get the Gardasil shot to prevent cervical cancer, for my health. But I was wondering where they give the injection? Is it on your arm or what? It's kind of a dumb question but the form we got about Gardasil made me think that I would get it somewhere else and i wasn't sure. Please let me know.

They inject it through it your arm. I heard it's a little strange, because you can feel it, since they are basically putting it through your muscle. I've also heard it hurts like a tetanus shot, but it's no where near as bad as an IV, so not to worry. :] [ Er_Bear19's advice column | Ask Er_Bear19 A Question ]

I strongly consider this shot though. It helps so much in life. Good luck. =] [ shelbz7077's advice column | Ask shelbz7077 A Question ]
