I think parents should weigh the risks vs the benefits of this vaccine.
Right now, the vaccine is showing neurological side effects, and my daughter has brain damage.
It may be worth it just for her to stay on top of pap smears than to get the vaccine, especially since she is not in a high risk group for getting cervical cancer.
Also, the timing of the vaccine should be up to the parent.
I don’t think that getting the vaccine says anything about sexual promiscuity. I knew of a woman who had been very chaste throughout her life, but unfortunately her first husband wasn’t. She got a STD thanks to her scummy husband.
But, if a parent feels an intense need to give this to their 12/13 year old girl because they are concerned that the child may become sexually active in the near future - well that family has more problems that this vaccine can address. There simply is no appropriate modern day scenario where young teenage girls should be having sex
On the other hand, a woman in her early 20's who has kept herself chaste is probably showing an appropriate use of the vaccine.
