In America, you have to prove your children are vaccinated prior to enrolling them in school.
Public health programs are more complicated than simple personal choice.
Cities have to sterilize the public water supply.
New homes have to connect to approved septic systems.
Certain employees are required to submit to anual TB testing.
Food service workers are required to submit to testing during outbreaks of food related illness.

The reason some people are screaming about vaccination for HPV is that it is perceived to be a sexually transmitted disease. These howls of protest threaten to give HPV the same civil rights that HIV enjoys. The significance of finding HPV under fingernails shows that it may be spread independent of sexual practice. A chaste young woman could be exposed to the HPV virus and eventually develop cancer from the use of tampons. She may also pass on this virus to her monogomous husband when she marries.
Women aren’t the only ones who get it nor are they they only ones at risk for cancer from it.
But calling it a “women’s issue” politicizes it like AIDS/HIV.

Vaccination should not be compulsary.
No one but me is at risk if I choose not to vaccinate. NO ONE. Unless they have also chosen not to vaccinate.
Go run someone elses life.
