[quote=Anonymous]Ideally at 15 your child has had enough sex ed that they are going to recognize HPV as a STI. But they may not know that there are many variants of HPV and the vaccine only increases their body’s ability to fight off SOME of them. Therefor it should be considered a backup to safer sex practices and she should always use a barrier method. As a midwife with an MS degree, who does recommend it- and will have my daughters get it when they are older, I would tell you from a public health standpoint, there is no reason not to treat it as neutral as all other vaccines. Your just following the recommendation of her doctor that now is the right time to get if for the largest length of coverage over the next years. Also as a PSA, it is now approved up to 45yo incase anyone reading this was on the cusp over the last 10years when the age was lower.[/quote]
