In Europe Cervarix vaccine is being offered at all major pharmacies for women between 18 and 54. It is produced by GlaxoSmithKline. Do you recommend I take it? It says that it is more efficient for older women then Gardasil. Here is the link:

Also do you see any reason why I should not take the ovarian cancer vaccine? Some of these vaccines have very negative side effects on health in the long term as the body is injected with a lot of “bad staff,” e.g. flu vaccine.
