I think that by making it mandatory for school attendance then it becomes covered by insurance. I know that my daughter will receive the vaccine as soon as she is old enough, with or without insurance coverage. Should parents be allowed to opt out of having their child vaccinated, yes. Parents can now based on religious beliefs. Is it advisable to opt out of vaccines, no. How much would i regret not taking steps to prevent the possibility of cancer for my daughter. Yes, HPV is transmitted through sexual contact so no they shouldn't be exposed at school. But requiring the vaccine for school attendance will make sure that those at risk are protected. And lets face it, any girl who is dating is at risk. Getting the vaccine is not granting permission to engage in sexual activity, it is smart parenting. We raise our children to the best of our ability and hope that they make the right decisions. But, should they make a wrong decision or not have a voice in the decision (rape, date-rape) I as a parent have taken steps to insure that my daughter will have one less worry.
