HPV Vaccine: Mandatory?

Ok.... so I just heard on CNN or CNBC that starting in 2008, Texas has made it mandatory for girls entering 6th grade to get the HPV vaccine.

I don't know much about this, except that it is supposed to prevent HPV and cervical cancer. One of my sisters that works in a pharmacy said that this vaccine isn't good because it's actually injecting HPV into your body (like the flu vaccine) and if you don't have the virus in your body, then you'll most likely get HPV anyways... or something like that.

Does anyoen know more about this?
