I was one of the only moms who skipped it last year for my 6th grade daughter...
Was there a lot of pressure to get your daughter immunized?
my girls aren’t getting it. over a year ago the doctor’s office tried to get my 13 year-old vaccinated. i said no way. esp. glad that i know it’s only “good” for 5 years and i had started to hear of the side effects.
i’[ve had a few talks with my girls regarding this vaccine, what it “protects” against and they only way they can be sure of not getting hpv, abstinence.
I skipped it for my 7th grade twin daughters.
My daughter has some issues:neurological and a heart arrhythmia). Her cardiologist strongly supported getting the yearly flu vaccine, but thought we could wait on deciding about gaurdisil.
When my daughters are 16. I’ll see what is happening with side-effects, and then we’ll discuss it again with the doctors.
