Cervical Cancer Vaccine
Hi, I'm a sexually active 26-year old. Can I still get the vaccine? Also, is the Merck or the GSK vaccine commonly used in India?

Both Cervarix and Gardasil are available. It's not recommended to take these vaccines after being sexually active. I'd suggest that don't take the vaccine. Instead, do Pap smear every 3 years.
