Mythbusting Mondays: "It's Dangerous"

“I remember hearing that it could damage your reproductive system.” – Female, 23

“The HPV vaccine has more side effects and is more dangerous than other vaccines.” – Female, 22

Not true! While getting a shot may seem scary, the main side effects of the HPV vaccine are pain and swelling where the shot was given, headache, and nausea. The HPV vaccine protects your reproductive system; it doesn’t harm it. If you're worried about the vaccine, then be sure to talk to your doctor. He or she can provide you with information about the risks and benefits of the HPV vaccine, if you want to learn more!

Remember, if you are 18 years or old, you do NOT need a parent’s permission to get the vaccine.

I was diagnosed of genital Herpes for 6 years, and ever since then i have been taking treatment to prevent outbreaks, burning and blisters, but there was no improvement until i came across testimonies of Dr. Timothy on how he has been curing different people from different diseases all over the world, then i contacted him. After our conversation he sent me the medicine which I took according to his instructions for up to 21 days. After completing the medication I went back to my doctor for another test and the virus was all gone and I was completely cured, since then I have not had any signs of outbreak. I’m so filled with joy. With herbal medication Herpes virus is 100% curable. I refer Dr. Timothy to everyone out there with the virus. His email address is [email protected] OR website https://5dc41d5b6d60d.site123.me
