What do you think about this news story suggesting 30% of parents are stopping their daughters from having the jab? Would you let your daughter have it? Should the girls be able to get it themselves from the doctor? Are parents being selfish or are they right not to trust new medicines?

Vaccinate her just like you would anything else, it's a disease, not a moral dilemma.
i wouldnt believe everything that i read. i dont trust pharmaceutical companies. many pharma companies align themselves with govt politicians who make money by pushing laws to have certain drugs be mandatory or required.
i would rather teach my child to respect herself and have sex with only someone she loved or no sex at all. that way she will have less chances to get cervical cancer.
DON'T BELIEVE EVERYTHING YOU READ.

by the way Eleanor, stop misrepresenting information. that is not a vaccine for stopping cervical cancer. that is a vaccine that may make the women immune to hpv which MAY lead to cancer.
there are other ways to get cervical cancer besides having hpv. shame on you.
If I was a parent I wouldn't let my daughter get the vaccine in the early on stages. There could still be terrible side effects that are not know. It's not a cervical cancer vaccine it's a vaccine against HPV which can lead to cervical cancer.

I wouldn't stop my children from getting it but I don't believe that I should have the right to mandate how someone else raises their children.
I don't think children should be allowed to get treatment for conditions which are not immediately life threatening without parental consent.
I don't think these parents should be condemned for refusing to have their children tested on – this seems to be a trial run of the vaccine there.

The problem with HPV is that it's tough to know if your partner has it. I'd let my daughter get the vaccine, heck, i'd encourage it.

It's up to the woman if she wants to have it. Personally, I don't trust medicine thus I'm not getting the vaccine, it hasn't been around long enough to know if there are any long term health risks and I'm not about to put my body on the line to find out.
But if other's want to use it that's up to them, it's their body and their choice.

my only concern would be the long term affects.
There are some, who think that giving young children so many vaccines at a young age all at once, is linked in the raise in autism, add, and few other mental problems.
If it continues to hold up I dont see any issue with having my daughter vaccinated when she gets older…..at five I'm not worried about std's yet…

no, i would be happy to have my daughter (if i had one) have the vaccine. i haven't heard of any medical problems with it. we have been giving girls jabs for german measles for years (which is only a problem if they get pregnant) so all this saying girls shouldn't have it because it encourages them to be sexually promiscuous or whatever is just nonsense
some parents get themselves too worked up about unsubstantiated scare scories re vaccination. a classic example of course is the mmr vaccine. people forget that measles is a highly contagious and potentially deadly disease. parents who have not had their children vaccinated in recent years have contributed to one of the worst measles outbreaks in many many years

I have not got a daughter only had sons
not sure I think all women should have regular smear tests

I've received the first part of the vaccine, but I am a little concerned about the long term effects as it has only recently been developed. I'll wait another 5 years for the rest. Well, actually I am not sure. I know vaccines dont cause autism, but I am a little worried about the effects it could have when I decide to have children.
References :
I only have sons, but if I had daughters, I would be leery. It's too early to tell what the long term effects will be. I'm certainly not against protection from cervical cancer, but I'd play wait-and-see a little longer.

I would want her to have done all the research into the vaccine first. If I knew it was perfectly safe, I'd let her have it.
References :
No, I would not stop my Daughters from getting it, and now they are saying boys may also get it. They are now claiming That cervical cancer can be spread thru oral sex, and cause oral cancer, heard that quit sometime ago on the news, so they may start offering it to all children.
