As most of you know, people 12-15 years old can now get a vaccine. Some of you might be scared to get this vaccine; it is OK to be afraid. I hate needles, but that did not stop me from getting it.
When I got mine, I looked away and it did not hurt at all. So, to all of you not wanting to get the vaccine: It is your choice, but I would get this so you can hug you aunts, uncles and grandparents.
