Why would you wait until they are having sex and are already potentially exposed?[/quote]

My daughter was late getting the vaccine, 14 years old, and she tested positive for HPV.  She was lucky it was the common type that went away on its own.  Statistics are that 90% of cases clear up on their own by the persons immune system.  The ones that don’t can develop into cancer.

She was part of the popular crowd in middle school where the boys and girls hung out.  The pediatrician said it was becoming more common younger and younger.  And for those who think their kid is immune, these kids were busy with activities including sports, music, pre-pro dance, musical theatre in paid shows, all kinds of things.  Busy kids who still make time to get together.   I read it’s about 10% of 14 year olds who are engaging in some type of sex. The numbers go up to about 40% in high school.  That’s a large number, it’s worth doing it by 11 years old.
