HPV Vaccine: Mandatory?

[SigKapSweetie]

Absolutely, I think all girls should be getting this vaccine. We have a vaccine that can actually help prevent a type of cancer, and people are all jumpy because they think it's going to give their daughters a free pass to go out and have sex. Promiscuity has very little to do with vaccinations, IMHO, and a whole lot to do with poor instillation of morals. If you raise your kids right, a vaccine isn't going to change that.

What hasn't really been discussed, and should be, is that little boys should be getting the vaccine as well. Women are at a much greater risk of developing squamous cell carcinoma related to the HPV virus, but the men are the ones spreading it to those women. Vaccinate boys and you have a shot at stopping the spread.
