available? what do you mean, available?
Jun. 30th, 2006 03:43 pmSo, here is the question that
7j and I have been researching today.
Is it currently possible, or will it soon be possible, to get the HPV vaccine in Boston?
MGH - says they don't have it in the following departments: STD clinic, Gynecology, Infectious Diseases.
Cambridge Health Alliance - says they don't have it in the following departments: Infectious Diseases, Women's Health (both locations), primary care (the last is apparently having a meeting to decide whether they'll offer it but have no idea when)
Brigham and Women's - Gyn department says they are waiting to receive the vaccine, they are planning to offer it. You can reach them at (617) 732-5500.
Beth Israel DMC - Gyn department says they're not offering it, suggests calling a pediatrician.
Fenway - has not yet returned call.
New England Medical Center - Gyn dept couldn't give me a definitive answer but says "we haven't heard anything about it, and we would've."
Planned Parenthood of MA - Says that it's not out yet, they think they will have it when it's available but don't know for sure.
Sidney Borum Jr Health Center - They hope to eventually have it but couldn't give me a timeframe.
On a larger scale:
Massachusetts CDC - no knowledge
Massachusetts DPH - have to call back to their vaccine unit on Monday.
Anyone have more promising leads? Or others that they've ruled out, at least? Or places I haven't thought to try that are still Boston Metro?
