Is it common place for females to get the HPV vaccination at school? It was introduced here and I had it, and therefore do not need to have pap smears (since a majority of cervical cancers are caused by HPV).

HPV vaccine doesn't protect against every single kind of cancer/bad yucky down there. That's why doctors are still doing the pap smears.

I chose not to have the HPV vaccination (I suppose looking back it was a "why on earth do I need this, I'm not female" sort of thing, but I didn't understand it at the time, it just seemed alien to be able to get a female cancer), but we were told that we still needed testing once we reached 25.
