Do you think girls should be required to have the new...

[Karizma]

...cervical cancer vaccine?

[musiq<3]

NO.it violates personal freedom for choice.plus i'm the most awful patient when it comes to shots.=S

[baserunner316]

NO medical procedure should EVER BE ENFORCED.

[Alpha™]

I think it should be a law. Every girl has to have the shot.

[jmichenn]

I think that they should wait and see if there are going to be any side effects or anything like that before the require girls to get it.

[Meli~Girl]

HELL NO! im not gettin no shot.

[sugarboo]

Not required......just suggested......it should be their choice.

[Zach D]

No, freedom of choice, but I would highly reccommend they get it because it could save their life and thousands of dollars for operations and chemo.

Here in Australia, every school-aged girl was given the vaccine for free should she choose to have it (which almost everyone did).

[*~*Bella*~*]

They shouldn't be required but I got the vaccine. I'd recommend it- one of my friends got cervical cancer at 20 and theres a history of cancer in my family.

[Just Bein' Me]

No, I think it should be a choice. The government is deciding too much about what is good for us and what isn't. What happened to the freedom of choice that we are given when we are born in this country. That is what this country is all about.

Unfortunately, as much as I hate to admit that cervical cancer is becoming a serious problem, Yes it should be required. Though, I don't know much about the shot and how many times you have to go to get a check up and stuff for it... it's better to be safe then sorry and the number of people who are getting cervical cancer are definitely increasing so that kind of worries me.

I don't know if it should be required, but it certainly should be highly recommended. All it takes is one encounter with someone carrying the HPV virus and bam, you could be infected.

I don't know about required; however, it should be offered when girls get their school inoculations. I know too many girls my age who are being diagnosed with cervical cancer. It is scary and I am sure if the shot was offered a few years ago they wouldn't be in this situation.The only issue is that it is for young girls and women up to 26 years old. The best time to get the shot is when you are 10,11,12, or 13. The problem is that parents don't want to face the facts and provide the shot to their children. I think parents need to be better educated.
