It is very troubling to me that when this vaccine is talked about, it is almost never mentioned that it is for a sexually transmitted disease.

Whatever! The notion that anyone would be against girls getting a vaccine that could prevent the scourge of cancer, is insane IMO.

Having a little responsibility for their actions will prevent it just as effectively, and NOT cost the taxpayer anything at all.
Until they or their parent(s) can afford to pay for their own shots, I don't agree that it should be a cost born by the taxpayer either. People can and should be responsible for their own health and well being. If they are victims of themselves, too bad.
