Cervical Cancer Vaccine Booster shot?
I'm turning 30 this year and I had taken cervical cancer vaccination back in 2018 when I was about 24 years old. However, I don't clearly remember if I took one dose or two doses. Either way, looks like I did not complete the dosage back then. Will it help to take a booster dose now just to be more protected? I'm married and sexually active.
