I have an 11 year old daughter. She probably knows nothing about this vaccine. What reason do you give her if she asks why she needs this vaccine?
You tell her it will help keep her from getting sick, just as you would with any other type of vaccine. If you want to talk to her about cancer, tell her that it will help prevent a certain type of cancer.
Has she ever had a shot? If so, what did you tell her then?
We don't need another "here's a condom, don't use it type message" - they don't work.
I don't think the comparison works. Condoms have one purpose only - this vaccine isn't in any way the same thing.
I oppose the governor's actions because it trumps parental rights and responsibilities in the name of the State, but some of the objections to the vaccine itself baffle me.
Be careful, you've fallen for the deception inherent in the marketing of this vaccine. This is not a cancer vaccine, it is a HPV vaccine, which can lead to cancer. the distinction is important.
The vaccine is designed to prevent a sexually transmitted disease contracted by promiscuous behavior.
My daughter is 11, not 2. She is not naive, nor would I lie to her
