The medical thinking on this is that it ought to be a routine vaccination just like the others kids get. They're right on this. Kids at the age of vaccination don't have to be having sex to pick up that virus later and end up with cancer. They could even pick it up from a spouse after they're married. Having the vaccination would simply protect a lot of them from that virus and woulnd't encourage sexual promiscuity any more than the polio vaccine does. It just makes health sense. Cervical cancer is a high frequency disease that costs a lot of money.

What does n't make sense is we don't know enough about the vaccine itself and its long term effects just yet to be making laws saying kids have to have it. They need to probably look at vaccinating boys, too, who carry that virus half the time and transmit it to girls. Those aremy concerns.
