First, license to have sex? Regardless of whether they never had sex or humped every leg within miles, do they not deserve the ability to save lives, including their own?HPV is the leading cause of cervical cancer and also has been linked with anal and oral cancers in women and men.The federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the American Academy of Pediatrics recommend HPV shots for girls and boys at age 11 or 12, before they have ever had sex. Three doses are generally recommended over six months.Some parents have raised concerns that the shots "are a license to have sex," but the study bolsters evidence against that concern, said Dr. Elizabeth Alderman, an adolescent medicine specialist at The Children's Hospital at Montefiore in New York City. She was not involved in the study.
Science. It works, bitches.
