Question

We know Gardisil, the HPV vaccine is available to both boys and girls. There are parents who believe it should not be mandatory as they feel it sends the message it is ok to have intimate relations for teens. Others feel it provides protection down the road when their child will be an adult and not have to be concerned about HPV. What are your thoughts about HPV and should it be a mandatory shot? Parents today can opt out of their child receiving the injection, but is that wise? Please make sure to provide one website you used to gather your reasear ch

Answer 1

HPV-Human papillomavirus.

It is mostly a sexually transmitted infection. Depending on the strain it develops warts on varies parts of body.But mostly in genital area.Transmitted through unprotected intercourse,from pregnant mother to baby.

In my opinion vaccine is most important whether it is for flu or HPV shot because Prevention measures is better than cure.

While giving mandatory shot they can understand the information about the disease.They can also understand the problems they will face if they have the disease.

It is not wise to opt out of shot because the teens may not know that they may contradicy the disease and may receive the infection from other people.So parents should not opt out of giving shot to their children and shot should be mandatory.
