Michelle, my almost 17 year old daughter, had the first shot in the HPV vaccine series today. Yea!

I was afraid it wouldn't be available in her doctor's office or that our insurance wouldn't cover it so I would have to take her to the health department clinic to get it. But no, my fears were unfounded.

The nurse gave the shot and handed Michelle a reminder card for the next two in the series. And, the insurance kinks have all been worked out so we didn't have to pay a dime and hope for reimbursement. Yea again!
