My mom turned down the HPV vaccine when it was first offered for free when I was in school. She admitted to being scared by all the shitty misinformation rhetoric at the time. I asked her about it as an adult, and she agreed she’d made a mistake, and offered to pay for it as a birthday present to me. It was 3 shots, $270 each. Worth every penny. I wish more people could humbly change their hearts, and I recognize how absurdly lucky I was that my mother did.
I’m sorry your mom didn’t do right by you, OP. But I’m so glad you did right by yourself :)
