Ailsa's story, Scotland — transcription

Back to video

I think it’s a good thing you’re able to get the injection to prevent (cancer) because you don’t really think about it.

I’ll be fine to get the injection because my mum’s reassured me and I’ve heard that the other girls have had it and they seem to be OK.

People are finding out more about it than before because I hadn’t heard about it until my mum mentioned it to me.

I’ve heard other girls in America and Australia and places that they've had it and it's not too bad so it doesn't scare me that much.
