I don't expect my girls to be promiscuous, but would their husband even know if he were transmitting HPV to them if he didn't know he had it? And doesn't it protect against genital warts (yuck)?
I'd hate to find out my child, later adult got cancer or the other from my lack of getting her a vaccination.
I can't decide if it's worth it to get the vaccine or not. What if it were 40 years ago and my child got Polio because I didn't trust the new vaccine?
Also, I'm sick of hearing some people act like only — I'll say it— “sluts” need the vaccine because I would never call any young girl a slut and one action as a teen should not decide if you contract a certain cancer.
Hello MacMattico:
The key thing you pointed out is that it is ultimately your informed decision to make. Obviously, Gov. Perry was wrong to make is mandatory with a questionable “opt-out” provision. Only to have the Texas legislature come out and void the executive order.
