What do ya'll think about the cervical cancer vaccine, Gardasil?

Question

I found out the I have HPV ( Human Papillomavirus ) last year. There has been a lot of talk about this new vaccince, Gardasil, that has come out to help prevent cervical cancer caused by HPV; therefore, I want to have my daughter take the vaccine because I don't want her to have this. In your opinion, do you think that others will think I'm saying that it's ok for her to have sex now that she has this vaccine??

Answer 1

Not at all and you shouldn't worry about any twisted people who would think that. I don't understand why anyone would not want to protect their child from cancer. Even if the person only had sex with their spouse, they cannot control what their spouse does every minute. And why would you want to risk that if you don't have to? Also, you should definitely talk to your daughter about what you think is right and listen to her thoughts on it.

Answer 2

get her the vaccine! i really want to get it but so far neither my doctor nor planned parenthood carries it yet because it is so expensive. despite what some people may say you are not necessarily saying its ok for her to have sex, you just need to get it at an earlier age because it works better then. 80% of women have HPV by the age of 50 and i think around 4,000 die of cervical cancer each year. this vaccine will possibly prevent this from happening to your daughter and i think every woman should get it.

Answer 3

If there is any vaccine out, that can keep you from getting some bad disease, then I'm up for it.. So i think it's great and I think all women should get it.

Answer 4

I dont think it has been out long enough to make my kids guinea pigs. Also, I dont believe the FDA is involved in approving vaccines of any sort.

Answer 5

I think that the vaccine is a good thing, but I do not think that it is a good thing to force girls to get it like they are doing in Texas (I think its Texas).

Answer 6

no let your daughter get it i am a man and am getting it soon.
