The vaccine is a good idea for women who are genetically predisposed to cancer. Women who have blood AB+ and A+ are more likely to develop cancer than people with other blood types, so they should receive the vaccine at sixteen.

This vaccine should not be forced on on all girls. The vaccine has not been tested on eleven year olds. The vaccine was never tested on women under sixteen. For the most part it is unusual for girls to have sex before seventeen.

Also, this vaccine may prevent two types of hpv from developing into cervical cancer. There are many other types of hpv which could still develop into cancer. Women will still need to be careful and get pap smears.

Gardasil is available an approved. If you want it, you can get it, and insurance will probably pay for it. Making it mandatory is extremely misguided and premature. If you truly believe this will work, then go ahead, but please let those of us who do not want to have imposed upon them and their children to see the long term effects by watching what happens to those who want to take it. Sounds like a win-win to me
