I'm wondering how many parents will get their daughters vaccinated with the Gardasil vaccine for HPV. HPV is the cause for 70-90% of cervical cancer. HPV is extreamly contagious. You don't have to have intercourse to get HPV. You can get it from any sexual contact involving the genitals (touch yourself then me). PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE inform yourself before commenting so we are all educated on what we are discussing here. I know this is a very touchy subject and it would be easier if everyone is well informed before commenting.

This vaccine not only prevents HPV, but about 15 other viruses. Our kids get any number of immunizations and have no idea what they are for. The idea that it would cause a child to sexually promiscuous is absurd.
I'm so happy to hear this! I told my sister and girlfriend who are in the age bracket to get the vaccine.
I know there are a lot of parents that feel it will be giving their daughter "permission" to have sex. I do not feel that way. Even if my daughter is a virgin when she gets married, who knows if her husband will also be a virgin? Also, you don't have to have intercourse to get HPV! You can get it just from touching! I can't have the attitude that my daughter will refrain from everything until she is married. Nobody is perfect. And as I said before, Even if she was "perfect", she could end up getting married to a man that has HPV and doesn't know it. I need to protect my daughter before she has any type of sexual contact.
I may not get it for her when she turns 13, or whatever the recommended age is, but I will get it for her before she becomes sexually active. At 35. J/K.
nope. I have a niece that I take care of and SHE WILL NOT be getting this vaccine or any other poison at this point.
My son has been vaccine-free since 15mo old. It's a controversial topic but he will not be getting any more vaccines at this point until he is 7. I will then get him Tetanus shot.

check back a few months ago - long thread about this very topic. Oh, and if you're <26 y/o and sexually active, you need it as well! and if you're older, be sure to ask for HPV testing at your next PAP. It is NOT part of the screening.
I will get it for my daughters if it keeps them from dying from one form of cancer. I would never be able to live with myself if I could have done something to prevent them from getting cervical cancer and I passed on it because I was scared or I was against it for whatever reasons. It's kind of like the mothers who passed up standard innoculations only to have her kid contract meningitis years later (and lose 3 of four limbs) - she could have prevented it... but I guess had to prove a point with her kids life. It's sad.
