This is the first cohort of folks that age who were offered the HPV vaccine when they were 12 or 13.
Expect even more dramatic results as that group enters their 30s & 40s.
Wait, it’s not mandatory? It should be for eligible groups of people, there is no reason people should be dying from preventable diseases
I live in the US, but my mom wouldn’t let me get it because “it’s only for people who sleep around” and something something it’s actually bad for you anti-vax bullshit. The implication being that if I got cervical cancer from HPV I would have fucking deserved it.
I got it later as an adult, because it bothered me not to have it even though I’m divorced and single AF, because fuck you mom, and you never know I guess.
Morons who are parents think HPV vaccine will turn their daughters into sluts.
You have to have kids to really appreciate how stupid the world is.
I’m suspecting the women most concerned about their girls being sluts had multiple partners (possibly protected by rhythm or the pill only) before they were married. But they think they can raise their girls better than they were.
As we all know, teens carefully consider vaccination status before having sex.
No vaccine is mandatory in the UK. You have the right to decline (or your guardian can on your behalf).
