I think this is a fantastic vaccine but it really accentuates the need for parents to explain the need of condoms. When I grew up the emphasis was on HIV and other STD's. If you show the stats of today (83% of all women carry HPV) and show that HPV and cervical cancer are STD's, that is a big threat. To me that is a bigger threat than herpes or HIV.
It is a very treatable cancer but if you don't go for your yearly check up as a women, bad things could happen and that cancer can spread rapidly. The govt and parents need to really educate our children on this disease as it effects a lot more women than herpes and HIV.
