Cervical Cancer Vaccine: Life Saver or Teen Sex-Life Catalyst?

If it's for the common good of the American people, isn't that what the government's supposed to do? We already pay for other people's kid(s), so wouldn't this be just another specific case of a more generalized thing (people paying for other people's health)?

agreed.

oh, so everyone else should be forced to pay for someone else's kid? sure thing, comrade.

but seriously, how many females worry about cervical cancer when they think of std's? really...lets be honest.

i'm not against anyone getting the vaccine, i am just against the government getting involved in every possible aspect of our lives.

UMMM....if they are not worried, they should be. HPV is the number one cause of cervical cancer.

Gardasil is given in 3 injections over 6 months, namely at enrollment, and 2 and 6 months later. Gardasil protects against four subtypes that together account for 70 per cent of all cervical cancers and 90 per cent of genital warts. It has been shown to be more than 95-per-cent effective.

The numbers here make it sound pretty impressive. These are high rates to be preventing cancer. Good job, science

It's probably cheaper to pay now for a vaccine than pay later for cancer treatments cuz some parents were negligent.

I think a few people need to do some reading on HPV, genital warts (VD) and cervical cancer.

Hmm... can't say I've read much about cervical cancer, honestly...

yes, we are required to have certain vaccines already, but those are for communicable diseases which arent spread by personal behavior.

plus, how long have these vaccines been in existence? do we know all of the potential side effects?
