vaccine is about 500 a pop (yes, it depends on where you're getting it). but they have this campaign thing going on now so it'll be slightly cheaper overall. the idea is to get 2 more jab after your first one at 2nd and 6th month. yes, study is still on-going to see if you need anymore jab after the 3rd dose but so far seems promising to stop at the 3rd one. i guess the primary concern worldwide is jabbing preteens (the coming vaccine from GSK apparently has studies covering kids as young as 9 to as old as 55 if i'm not mistaken, whereas gardasil only have proven studies up to 26 years. for age 27 above, the study is currently still on going. - do not quote me on all of this, haha). and the whole idea for this vaccine is PREVENTION, not cure. younger girls are less likely to be exposed to HPV, hence the big hoohaa now to start making the vaccine compulsory for young girls (and perhaps boys too). oh, i've also heard of doctors already jabbing patients older than 26 too regardless of the studies done.
anyway, why don't you read all the articles given above and judge/decide for yourself. :)
Cool! I think we'll be driving to Miri on 31st May and then go to Brunei (maybe for a day trip) the next day. I have a class on 5th June so we'll have to come back by 4th.
Btw, is Jelutong (sp?) Park still up and running? Thinking of taking Emily there but I am worried that it has not been maintained properly. That's what I heard from friends anyway. You have any idea?

Btw, do you know if Jelutung (sp?) Park is still up and running? Planning to take Emily there but I heard from friends that it's not been maintained properly. I am worried the rides may not be safe. Thanks!
Jerudong you mean? I believe it is still there but I, too, heard about the lousy maintenance so haven't been up the park since they charge ppl to get in.
