Also this isn't like the swine flu, the epidemic that never happened-people have HPV and cervical cancer now so it's a bit different. You're right to be cautious but also remember, with respect, that you're out of the recommended age range to receive it anyway.

We're on the same page.. sort of. I'm happy this vaccine is available to those who want it. The key words being "want it." At this point, it's been out too short of a time for me to feel comfortable with it. If I had a daughter, I would not have her vaccinated, but take a "wait and see" attitude.
For those who are over age 18 and are within the age group-- you certainly can choose to have the vaccine if you feel comfortable. But FORCING parents to vaccinate their kids with something that has only been on the market for a few months, has been aggressively marketed to politicians.. just sends up too many red flags for me.
