Being deployed to Afghanistan and 3 times to Iraq I was a human pin cushion. However, the anthrax vaxes were being challenged at that time so I didn’t get them, got me to start wondering. While I had an initial smallpox around 1960 I got another in 2005 before deploying to Iraq, they said should be required every 10 years.
God blessed me with a daughter in 2013 and dutifully we got her fully vaccinated. But there was no smallpox because it was eradicated. Because of the VAX I’m now not sure what I should continue for her. For example, she is almost due for the HPV, but if you do nothing she should develop immunity to it. So why should I vax her?
So when the government says “That generally reduces the severity of symptoms.” I am now on high alert leaning towards not getting the vaccine.

Getting a regular Pap test is a good way to catch cervical cancer early. I suspect that we will see the incidence of cervical cancer INCREASE as too many women thin that just because they had the vaccine, they now won't get it, and so won't go for regular screening.
There are other risk factors for cervical cancer , too. Those need to be watched as well. The HPV vaccine is not the guarantee of protection it's made out to be.
If you’ve raised your daughter not to sleep around, she has no need for the HPV shot.
