I've had my set and no side effects, just typical injection site aches but those get better with the three. I suggest you take this opportunity as well, unless you have allergies including but not limited to latex. Many people who have reactions have an underlying allergy to latex.

it's very important that you get this vaccination, it's revolutionary in that it can prevent you getting the hpv, which is a strain of virus that can lead to herpes and cervical cancer. we women are so lucky to have such a vaccination available to us as, if combined with regular pap smears, there will be no reason you hsould ever be at risk of getting a life threatening cervical cancer.
i have had the series of shots, they do not hurt and i had no side effects apart from that i felt slightly feverish after the first one for about 3 hours. that was all.
remember that after you get it, this does NOT mean you can have unprotected sex. their are other stds that you can still get. the biggest controversy so far about this drug is that women are scared that if they vaccinate their little girls they will be encouraging their children to have sex. this is so ridiculous because the truth is that at some poin in their lives, their children WILL have sex and WILL very likely be exposed to the very common hpv virus.
it is your body and totally up to you, but i would suggest you take this opportunity you have been given. good luck
