Gardasil, which even recommends vaccination in national public service announcements!
I also got the vaccine. Some of you may be familiar with it, but others may not know the specifics of the vaccination process, so I'll share the vaccination process, cost, and my experience.
It is ideal for both men and women to have a cervical cancer, and for those who are as young as possible.
In my case, I had a 4-ga tea ceremony when I was a student, but now I have to have a 9-ga tea ceremony again, so I started looking into the cost of the tea ceremony.
Did you know that the cost of a teahouse is much higher than you think?
Vaccinations are not covered by insurance, so even if you pay out of pocket, they are not covered by insurance.
For your information, the vaccinating room is not free at all. There is an age limit for which the 4th vaccine can be administered for free, but you have to pay for the 9th vaccine.
The average cost of a teahouse is about 600,000 won (for 3 sessions), and some places charge more than that, while others charge less.
To be honest, I was worried about the cost of the treatment, so I found out that the treatment cost was cheaper at a hospital near my work area, so I went there.
Since the clinic only opens three times a year, I thought it would be okay to come and get a shot every time.
It's located a 10-minute walk from Exit 1 of Chungmuro Station, but it's quite a walk.
When I got there, there were more people than I expected. They were people like me who came to get vaccinated because it was known that the cost of the tea ceremony was cheap.
The hospital was spacious and clean.
When I first applied, I filled out a preliminary examination form.
The vaccination center here is unique in that you have to take off your shoes before entering... It's the first time I've seen a hospital where you have to take off your shoes before entering.
The vaccination process itself is incredibly simple. You get a shot in the arm.
My arm was quite sore after getting it. It felt like a stiff feeling after getting a flu shot.
These are vaccination precautions.
It says not to shower for 24 hours after vaccination, but they said to just avoid it on the day.
In addition, sauna and strenuous exercise are prohibited.
The payment method for the Gadasil vaccination is to pay for all three shots at once after the vaccination. I paid for the first shot.
After the test, you will be given a vaccination card, and the interval between vaccinations is 2 months and 6 months.
It is said that you must receive all three shots within a year.
If you miss the timing and it's been over a year, you'll have to start over from the beginning...!
I've had the second dose so far and I haven't had any side effects other than a little soreness in my arm (not that bad).
But just in case, I'm trying not to overdo it since it hasn't been that long since I got the vaccine.
At first, I was a little worried about the injection, but it is the only cancer that can be prevented through a vaccine, so I have to take care of my health.
I hope this was helpful to those of you who are interested in going to Gadasil.
