I agree with mfree on the issue of leaving the decision in the hands of the guardian. While I cannot myself subscribe to the logic behind not choosing this vaccination for my daughter, I respect the rights of the parents who would object..just the same as I respect a guardian's right to opt their child out of taking sex education or having to dissect a frog.
HOWEVER the so-called rightists believing such a vaccination would cause girls to be loose..that's utter bullshit. If that logic held water, then it is fair to say that when my 7th grade gym teacher gave all the girls in the class that litle "goodie bag" (you remember the ones Tampax used to donate), that it was encouraging girls to be fertile, therefore reproductive, therefore tramps.
IN all honesty, if somebody wants to do this country a favour, try handing out pocket-pussies to a few thousand politicians so they don't go planting their seeds anywhere else.
