Info on Cervical cancer vaccination

OK this one is an FYI&A for all my friends.. friends, wives and sisters of friends

My doc had asked me to take the cervical cancer vaccination yesterday and this is the info I got from him and wanted to share with you all . I know there is loads of info available everywhere but just wanted to share whatever info I have

Currently they say all girls(yes , girls !) between the age of 14-24 must get this done as a prevention for cervical cancer. But women beyond 24 can also get this done.

Its a 3 dose vaccination spread across 6 months. 0 months- 2 months- 6 months. Each one costs 3250 INR. Its advisable not to plan for pregnancy during these 6 months.
