Women should know that even without subsidies, vaccine is accessible and beneficial

I'm an entrepreneur in the sexual wellness industry in my early 30s. I first heard about the human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine in my 20s when I received a government letter about subsidies available up to age 26.

At the time, I didn't think much of it as none of my peers was talking about it, and I had little education on the topic. Looking back, I wish someone had explained how important it was to get vaccinated when I was younger, when it's most effective.
