Please let us know how you like the versa. I have a charge 2 and it is really fun getting feedback on the calories I'm burning.

Perhaps sign up for a free…

After administering 170 million doses of Gardisil (HPV Vaccine) over the past 9 years, there have been only 6 reported cases of infertility associated with the vaccine (Current Opinion in Obstetrics & Gynecology:February 2016 - Volume 28 - Issue 1 - p 70–72).
