DD is in year 8 & I've just received the forms for the HPV/MMR/varicella vax.

I've already said no for all 3. I would like more info though. I have no interest in using my daughter as a crash test dummy for the HPV. There's no way in hell I'll take that risk. I will educate her on practicing safe sex & having a pap smear every 2 years when it comes time. I've already brought safe sex up with her & told her why she won't be getting it. If she chooses to as an adult, it's her choice.

I am a vaxxer though. All my kids are fully vaccinated, including begrudgingly, the chicken pox/varicella, except DD1 & 2 has natural immunty. DD2 contracted chicken pox at 6 months old. I assume DD1 carried it into the home & passed it on, but didn't have symptoms herself.

Now MMR. I had a rubella booster at 12. At 24, 12 years later, I still had immunity to rubella. So I'm wondering how needed this booster is? I realise everyone is different. I also had german measels as a baby, so maybe I have life time immunity from way back then?

Would it be crazy of me to ask for a blood test to check my kids immunity before any further vaccinations? If I decide to go ahead with the MMR vax for DD1, I will have my local GP do it. I don't want to take the risk of whoever does it at the school (3 hours away) to accidentally give her a dose of the gardasil if I approve the MMR. And I really feel it's unnecessary to have the varicella. She's been around chicken pox since & never contracted it. The same as her aunt & grandmother.

So I'm looking for opinions & information. Weather you vax or not. On all 3 of the 10-15 year old vaccinations. Will I have to be a conscientious objector if I don't have the HPV done? Given the type of disease, the way it's spread I really don't see how they can make it compulsory...
