My collegues upstairs would be a little bummed about this news. I can understand keeping out the Church and School out of people private lives, but it's not a private issue. This is a public/population health measure. The vaccine just doesn't only prevent women from HPV/warts, but prevents her from also infecting other people (mainly the male population which isn't publically covered right now). The overall goal is to reduce the overall prevelance of HPV in our population and hope that it would reduce the cases of cancer in woman down the road.
