Why should my non-sexually active 11 year old daughters get this vaccine, especially when they have to get the booster 5 years later?

I know they are not sexually active.

I figure when they are old enough to drive there is a greater risk for them being sexually active. At 16, we’ll figure out if they should have the vaccine.

However, one of my daughters has a brain injury and now has a seizure disorder. I think I won’t recommend this vaccine at all to her. I think the benefits don’t outweigh the risks for her.

The optimum time to vaccinate is before sexual activity starts.

If you live in one of those states that require that she does, I would protest. Keep her at home the day they give them.
