Before you or your family get the gardasil vaccination...

This vaccine only protects from two strains of hpv doesn't it? There are so many strains going around. ( someone can fill me in on those figures)

Personally, I don't like that they promote it as a cervical cancer vaccine because it's not at all a cervical cancer vaccine.

The current vaccine will protect against more than 70% of cervical cancer.

It's important to understand the death reporting process. The deaths, horrible as they are, were up to 6 months later and often unrelated to the vaccine, things like car accidents. The deaths have been thoroughly investigated in many countries including Australia and NZ and none of the deaths have been shown to be caused by the vaccine. There have been pretty big serious investigations including the very public coroners case in NZ.

BTW I like the idea of guaranteeing that my DD will never have unprotected sex PumpkinZulu, I'm sure a lot of parents would be very interested in your method! I hope very much that we can succeed too!!
