*nods* If you can afford it, it definitely makes sense. The arguments I saw against were all financial (as I explained to my friend). And honestly, they're not necessarily wrong. If you're looking at the best value for your health care money and we assume we can't afford everything good, there may be more beneficial ways to spend the money to help people than vaccinating older women for HPV. There is a lot of health care people need and don't get.
But if you're looking at it from a personal point of view of I can either get this or not and you don't need to sacrifice food, rent, more important health care, etc. then you probably want to get it.
