[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DD and DS both got it. No concerning side effects. My son often has a mid fever after vaccinations.

I’ve honestly have never heard of any real downside.  But my younger kid is about 5 years out.  Anti-vaxxers are against it. People who just don’t want to deal with the idea their kids may one day be sexually active often push it off because they think their kids are way too young. [b]Which is the point of getting it at 11-12.

What’s your concern, exactly?  My default position is vaccinate unless their is a good reason not to. And a 100 degree fever for a day and my not liking the fact my kid could one day get an std aren’t good reasons to protect my kid from cancer.

I know you're trying to be helpful but let's not fight DISINFORMATION with MISINFORMATION. The reason the series is given at 11-12 years old is because the immune response throughout various teenage years and 20s has been studied and weakens the later you give it, to the point that older recipients require booster shots.  It's not a mind trick being played on parents to avoid thoughts of their children becoming sexual.  Sheesh. [/quote]

It's both.

[i]The vaccine work best at this age. Research shows that younger people have a better immune response to the vaccine than those in their late teens and early 20s. [b]And, the vaccines will prevent the covered types of HPV only if they are given before exposure to the virus.
