Hi, what's your age? The new CVC's are very: age, metabolism, and existing condition prescriptive. I'd suggest you searh on your web search engine of choice and look up which of the two would fit your profile, then speak with your doctor. Only a doctor can properly advise you.

I don't think there is such a vaccination exit yet, to do regular check up to prevent and rule out cervical cancer is important, or to find out the early stage of cervical cancer and get it treated...

They have the vaccine at International Medical Clinic in Camden - I've seen the brochure in the waiting room. I'm not sure the cost but will not be cheap since they are quite costly in the first place. 6733 4440

The vaccination with the drug Gardasil will cost S$600-700. See the following link for further information:

And two listings from private clinics but I reckon that most any clinic that deals with women would be able to administer the jabs if you are convinced.
