re: would you get your 9 year old daughter ...

Quoting iamOBAMAmama:“   i dont understand all the people soooo against it. its like, hello...its going to happen (sex) wether you like it or not. at least take the precautions to keep her safe. ”

I agree!!!

Quoting OGPillowpants Chronic MOD:“ I work in OB/GYN and this chick came in with herpes in her EYE. EW”

EWWWW!

Quoting iamOBAMAmama:“ vaccinated for HPV? What are your views on girls at such a young (non-sexually active age) getting ... [snip!] ... active age) getting a vaccine for STDs? (basically) Just wondering. (i believe for every pro there is a con   )”

personally I would not. When my daughter is 18 and well-informed and educated on the risks and benefits of vaccines, she can get it herself if she decides. There have already been 2 deaths linked with the HPV vaccine and it's still way too new to tell if it's legit.
then again, I won't be vaccinating her for anything else. Who knows what is actually in those drugs.

She is only 1 right now... but I am going to say yes. My aunt died of cervical cancer. Also, teenagers are having sex. So I think its a good idea. Also (already been said) We will know more about the vaccine by the time my daughter is old enough for it

have you guys heard of the genetic testing call Baraka (sp?)
it tell a woman if she has the baraka gene that causes overian and breast cancer. It is 87% accurate. But you have to qualify for it...like have a family history, but its really cool I think to have a way to know if your gonna get cancer.

Quoting Pr0nkBeth:“ I bet if this vaccine prevented breast, colon, brain or skin cancer then people would be jumping in leaps ... [snip!] ... Icthyosis than dying or having side effects from the shot! (I suggest you google image that disease...very interesting).”

That is the same kind of statistics that are quoted for reactions to regular immunizations as well-and just from Babygaga members we all know that it is actually higher. And many of the side effects are being blown off as "other things" and "coinincidences". I watched a very interesting piece on this vaccine just a few days ago and my daughter.who is 14,will not be getting it anytime soon.
