I'm not saying I agree with the Bishop on this one (which I don't) but it's not like this is the only place this vaccine is available.
I found it interesting where I grew up and went to high school - there were a public (mine) and catholic school next to each other. I can count the # of pregnant girls at my school on two fingers; the catholic school had that per month. Seems like covering your ears and pretending it's not happening doesn't seem to be working.

Lots. Family doctors are in short supply here in Calgary.
Furthermore, most 13 year old girls tend to be fairly healthy, so they probably dont visit their doctors very often.
Bishop Henry is a dinosaur, this is grandstanding BS. To me it smacks of someone who realizes that the teachings of chastity are so outdated that most people disregard them out of hand and this is his weak attempt, yet only opportunity to hope girls get this disease so he has a chance to say;
'I told you so, if only you'd listened.'
