I imagine that if I was a parent, I would let my daughter decide. It's only being administered after the age of reason (not to say that 13 year olds aren't capable of incredible stupidity).
There are legit reasons for her to get it. Even if she is chaste until marriage, she is at risk for HPV unless her husband-to-be is a virgin. Men aren't tested for this strain of HPV and for men it has no side effects whatsoever (no sores, etc.) but, ironically, it's the most dangerous strain for women. While cervical cancer is one of the the best and most easy to treat cancer to get if you had to get one, it seems preferable to avoid the risk.
Of course, this is a decision that can only be morally made and funded by an individual, not a government.
ARE YOU DAFT????????
This is being mandated in some states for girls as young as 9.
The Virginia mandate is for girls entering 6th grade, which means my daughter will be 11 (she just started 4th). I have no intentions of allowing an 11 year old to make that type decision.
16, maybe. 11 - no way will she make the decision.
since you are not a parent, I suggest you allow those of us who are to make the deicisons for our own daughters.
