This vaccine is controversial because it is designed to be given to girls before they become sexually active, ideally around 12-13 yrs age.
Some critics have argued that vaccinating against HPV might promote sexual promiscuity.
I have a very good friend whose mum recently sadly passed away age 42 from cervical cancer (it was a remission- she lived another 2 years before passing)- her daughter 21 is obviously at high risk too.
I think all women should have the injection- regardless of notions of promiscuity or such moral dilemmas or any medical risks for that matter. For me better- alive and sinning than dead and virgin pure.
If it were available now I'd push my friends' sister to the Doctor right now- tie her up if I had to.
What about you- what are your thoughts?
