The problem with this is, if you've been exposed to those strains of HPV, the vaccine can increase your chances of getting cancer. Even if every girl gets it at the age of 9, I don't see this being a good "requirement."
What about vaccinating men as well? While HPV
can cause penile cancer, wouldn't the vaccine help prevent transmission?
