Hey it's ultimately the parent's responsibility for their child no argument there.
But you've got to remember these Bishops are in a position of authority and they are basically telling the parents "if your daughter gets this shot, she's going to be a skank... and you know what THAT means....."
Some parents are going to listen to that.
Some parents are going to forget to take their kid to the appointment. Some parents won't even make the appointment. Having schools involved avoids that as well.

I missed this the first time I read, but yeah, I think it would be the same reaction if they made the call for the same reason (that it promotes pre-marital sex). If they had a REAL reason (dangerous side effect or something) then no one would argue. Same as if the Catholic church had a
rational reason for not allowing it. No one would complain.
