HPV Vaccine: Mandatory?

[33girl]

But the thing is, the parents have to submit something and have it approved. Many parents are too lazy to do this. There are already parents who opt out of other kinds of vaccines because they (they personally, not their religion) don't believe in it and they're still considered mandatory.

If they're really concerned about the vaccine and/or its effect on the promiscuity of their children, etc. wouldn't they go through that trouble? Again, I tend to agree that this was a little early to require it, but if parents are doing their jobs they have the opportunity to say no.

<sarcasm>And if parents aren't doing their jobs, the kids should probably be vaccinated for anything and everything anyway. </sarcasm>

That's what I said. I just believe when it comes down to it, the majority of parents will say "whatever" and let them get the vaccine. We had the odd parent in our elementary school who was anti-fluoride tablets too. It's the same principle.
