"Free HPV Vaccine if you Qualify!
this is for females only, hopefully you guys have educated yourself enough to know that...
but in my field of work i research a lot of these things and i found out that Planned Parenthood of Greater Orlando (has 2 clinic locations, one by ucf, one off tampa ave.) offers the hpv vaccine for free if you qualify.
you have to be over 18 and un-insured, not on medicaid, and make below a certain income (might be under 20,000ish... but don't quote me.
)
it goes through the Merck Patient Vaccine Assistance Program
here is website for ppgo:
http://www.ppgo.org/clinic/hpv-vaccine
you can walk in there and fill out the form and see if you qualify, might only take 15 minutes!
or you can fill out the application online yourself and bring it in to ppgo:

either way if you haven't gotten this vaccine yet (most insurance companies cover it too) PLEASE do so, and if you don't know what i'm talking about please check it out, remember you can get it even if you have had hpv before, but hurry because some places might not give you the vaccine over the age of 26, but no matter what it's worth checking out!
(p.s. i got the vaccine, it's 3 shots in the arms spread out over 9 months, no biggie, i had no side effects aside from a sore arm.)"
