Maybe I got it wrong, but I've been hearing "the Christian conservatives are all going to be against this because. . ."
and I haven't heard that kind of opposition. It seems to me that most parents will want to protect their daughters from cancer and aren't interested using fear to motivate their daughters to be chaste.
I understand that the vaccine has to be given before the onset of sexual activity to be effective, but I think the 9 year old end of the range just seems weirdly young to most of us.
Someone else earlier in the thread made the point that kids don't even usually know what they are being vaccinated against, so I suspect it would be pretty easy just to tell them it will keep them from getting a certain kind of cancer later without getting into HPV at that age at all.
