Yeah, but you have to HAVE SEX to get it! Mumps, measles... no.

I suspect you could get mumps or measles by having sex with someone who has them...

Not necessarily. Its spread thru direct skin to skin contact. Its a virus...and there is NO cure. Seriously devestating. (i teach it as a school nurse)

The vaccine has to be administered before becoming sexually active to be effective.

Over 40% of teens between ages 15-19 admit that they have had sex at least once. That number has been steady for a number of years. So you have almost half of all kids potentially being exposed to a life-threatening virus before they are adults. More women die from HPV-related cancers than people die each year from chicken pox, measles, mumps, combined - and yet we have mandatory vaccinations for all of those other diseases.
