Which is ridiculous IMO because they have found that oral cancer is also linked to HPV. Boys should at least have the option as well.

I agree with you. However, there is no option for boys/men because it has not been tested on them. This is not a cervical cancer vaccine, it is a vaccine against some STDs, some of which cause genital warts and others cause cervical cancer.

My opposition to this vaccine really has nothing to do with the morals of young girls, including my own daughter, but rather the lack of morals displayed by Merck in pushing to have this vaccine added to the list of mandated vaccines.

I see absolutely no need for this to be forced upon 11 year olds, and my daughter will not be getting it this summer.
