[QUOTE="hearts and roses, post: 14805, member: 2211"] For years, as payers of increasingly higher premiums for health insurance, we've clamored about being proactive towards 'preventative medicine'. If paying for a vaccine now for my two daughter's will save them and thier insurance company money later because they haven't contracted a disease that causes cervical cancer, then I am all for it. Fortunately, my insurance covers the costs of this vaccine. My dds' are 17 and 19, just at the gates of exploring thier sexuality. I have no guarantees that they will only have one or two partners - not in todays world and definitely with a difficult child. And if they are fortunate to only have one or two sexual partners, who's to say how many those young men have had? My neice contracted HPV at 19 and continues to have bi-annual cervical cancer screenings due to this. She has had her cervix 'scraped' and a portion removed due to pre-cancerous cells found. I realise there are risks involved with every vaccine, as neither of my girls received the DPT series - only partials due to a bad reaction with easy child's first shot at 2 months. It wasn't a big deal to simply say no back in '88-'89 and thier DR really didn't care for the note of explanation and, really, what's the big deal with writing a simple note? I think the rush to get this particular vaccine out there and approved and make it required has a lot more to do with preventing cervical cancers. Nowhere anywhere is anyone ever going to do anything like this for free; of course someone is making money on it. [/QUOTE]
