Not only that, Researchers say that about 20 of the suspected 230 different types of HPV are considered high risk due to their association with cervical cancer. In addition, the HPV types associated with genital warts are now considered low risk because they are rarely associated with cervical cancer.

This vaccine only works on 4 four strains of this disease, 2 of which are cancer related, the other 2 cause warts, which go away on their own eventually anyways.

It seems to me that this is an awfull waste of taxpayers money to have a manditory vaccine which has such little effect.
It should be offered as a personal choice, payed for by those that choose it.
It may also give uniformed women a false sense of security, and they would forgo regular pap smears. This 'vaccine' may end up causing more cancer than it saves.

Ludicrous. You have probably gotten at least 6 different vaccines in your life, more if you are much of an international traveler. Have you ever thought to yourself, "Well I got that yellow fever shot last year when I went to South Africa, surely I can skip my yearly check-up with my family doctor."
