[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The HPV vaccine is great. I think we can all acknowledge that. The question is why are we trying to conduct an end around parent instead of educating the,. So we are trying to bully the kids instead of educating the parents. Why?

This just screams of being unnecessary?

The HPV vaccine has risks and benefits, like all other vaccines (along with medical procedures and pharmaceuticals).  The parent is the person who can best judge whether the benefits outweigh the risks for their particular child or vice versa.  I am plenty educated on vaccines and had my own kids receive all vaccines except this one (in retrospect, I also should have refused Hep B). - MPH

Are you the same MPH who has been providing lots of misinformation about covid?

Here are the risks of the HPV vaccine:

[i]Adverse Reactions
The most common adverse reactions reported during clinical trials of HPV vaccines were local reactions at the site of injection.
In prelicensure clinical trials, local reactions such as pain, redness, or swelling were reported by 20% to 90% of recipients.
A temperature of 100°F during the 15 days after vaccination was reported in 10% to 13% of HPV vaccine recipients. A similar proportion of placebo recipients reported an elevated temperature.
A variety of systemic adverse reactions have been reported by vaccine recipients, including nausea, dizziness, myalgia, and malaise. However, these symptoms occurred with equal frequency among both HPV vaccine and placebo recipients.
Local reactions generally increased in frequency with increasing doses. However, reports of fever did not increase significantly with increasing doses.
No serious adverse events have been associated with any HPV vaccine. Ongoing monitoring is conducted by CDC and the Food and Drug Administration.
Syncope (fainting) can occur after any medical procedure, including vaccination. Adolescents should be seated or lying down during vaccination and remain in that position for 15 minutes after vaccination. This is to prevent any injuries that could occur from a fall during a syncopal event.[/i]

In summary, the primary risk of the HPV vaccine is: a sore arm.[/quote]
