We get the flu shots here because my daughters almost died of a respiratory illness when they were babies. My one daughter still has severe asthma when she has a respiratory illness, and my other daughter has a heart arrhythmia and epilepsy. They are high risk. I have asthma, so I guess I am too.
My daughters are not getting the HPV vaccine. They are not high risk. When they start dating, we’ll talk again. However, I would like them to make their own decision at 18.
People should demand that if they try to legally require girls to get the HPV vaccine, then they should require boys to take it, too, since it’s men who pass the disease around between women and excluding them would be sexist.

And that’s the thing. Low immune system or asthma or seniors, sure should get them.
But healthy people should build up immune systems by getting sick.
