Correct if I am wrong, but why would they want to require girls to get the vaccine and not boys...they are carriers too. Either way, I wouldn’t let my kid get the vaccine.
They recomend getting the vaccine up to 25 years old so after I had my girl the doctor asked if I wanted to have the vaccine. When she was telling me about it she said that at my age it would be useful more if I were going to have more sexual partners. I figured I would go ahead and be happy with the partner I already have and I declined. It makes me feel like they are using it more for protection against some std’s and passing it off as protection against cervical cancer. No matter the protection it provides, our daughters need to know more about the risks.
I suspect those pushing this government program to see all girls vaccinated are pushing this as a “woman’s issue” to stifle debate. Men can get cancer from HPV too (testicular cancer, throat cancer) and can be carriers of HPV which would then infect non-vaccinated women.
