Answer to Question 1

D
The HPV vaccine is effective against the four most common types of HPV that can cause cervical cancer. Three injections are required, and booster doses currently are not recommended. It is safe for females older than 9 years of age and is intended for females from 13 to 26 years of age. The vaccine is most effective if administered before sexual activity or exposure.

Answer to Question 2

A
Xerostomia is a decrease in production of saliva; this decreases the ability and desire to eat and can lead to nutritional problems. The other options do not address taste- or nutrition-related concerns.

Every flu season is different, and even healthy people can get extremely sick from the flu, as well as spread it to others. The flu season can begin as early as October and last as late as May. Every person over six months of age should get an annual flu vaccine. The vaccine cannot cause you to get influenza, but in some seasons, may not be completely able to prevent you from acquiring influenza due to changes in causative viruses. The viruses in the flu shot are killed—there is no way they can give you the flu. Minor side effects include soreness, redness, or swelling where the shot was given. It is possible to develop a slight fever, and body aches, but these are simply signs that the body is responding to the vaccine and making itself ready to fight off the influenza virus should you come in contact with it.
