"I can understand ordering vaccines for contagious diseases like Measles and Mumps.. but this is going too far."

Exactly what I was thinking. Measles, mumps, polio you can all catch just from wandering around aimlessly at the Walmart. HPV can't be. This vaccine should be 100% voluntary.

Psst - HPV-types can also be transmitted through simple contact, not just sexual intercourse.

I agree totally. My teenage daughter asked me about it. I told her I'd rather she wait until it's been out for a couple years to see what side effects are documented. She's not sexually active; there's no reason to be a guinea pig here.

It is 100% voluntary since there is an opt-out.
