If the proposal passes, the human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine would be required for all girls in the 6th grade.

As a mother of three girls, I feel that it should be made available to the parents that agree for their daughters to get this, but to make it mandatory is going over our rights as parents and as Americans. We have the right to vote, abort, refuse and nothing should change those rights. Not all six grade girls are out there having sex, and this is how this virus comes about. Making this mandatory would also violate our religious rights, mandating this vaccine on to our girls and us as parents allowing it is like giving consent for our girls to go ahead and start having sex. If we allow this, next is mandating how many children we can have or sex aged girls to be put on birth-control.We as Americans have the right to refuse.

I think that they are jumping into this issue way too soon. In Ohio Rep. Edna Brown has made this a big issue. They need to make sure there aren't any long term side-effects first. I can see these girls having other health problems down the line because there wasn't enough research now. I would hope that I was wrong though.

hpv is the leading cause of cervical cancer, so i think its a great idea, but keep in mind there are dozens of variations in the virus and the vaccine only protects against a few. along with the vaccine they should implement more effective teaching methods for sexual education and safe sex practices since HPV is sexually transmitted. it affects around 80% of sexually active females.

This vaccine should be considered like any other vaccine, polio, mumps, rubella, hepatitis. It is a protection against illness and death. As for it being considered "sex" related, should not even be presented. It is a cancer vaccine. One of many breakthroughs this country has discovered!

appears like a concept from someone of Buddhist mysticism or some jap appropriate philosophical gadget. The you likely correlated to the ego, the "I" that we parade round in our daily lives. yet our authentic selves, what's left after the ego has dissolved, exists in a range of infinity. it truly is a suited idea, it speaks to the grandeur of existence, the interior-connectedness of all issues. you're the following, yet you're also everywhere right now.

I totally support it. The vaccine has no known side-effect besides normal injections (redness, discomfort) and it is the first cancer preventing vaccine ever. I got my first injection this week (series of 3). I see no reason not to get it.

i'm against mandatory vaccines. frankly i'm rather tired of government deciding they know what is best for the rest of us.

i think it is an awesome idea, we have controlled many other life-threatening diseases with vaccines, why not control another. there is no harm in getting a vaccine
