HPV for preteen.

[mommatri9]

My oldest girl is the appropriate age for the HPV, I think she should get it.  But my hubby says that he has heard bad things about it. I don't want to harm her just to protect her. But at the same time if she can be protected I want her to be. So, I am asking for advice from other moms. Has anyone out there got their dtr's done? Are they ok? Should I get hers done?

I do vax my kids but I would not get the HPV vax for them.  It was rushed to the market and their has been too many bad reactions to it.

I don't vax at all. However this is one of the worst vaxes on the market. I would def do some research on it before making that decision. And don't necessarily go by what your Dr. 'S suggestion is. Do your own independant researh. Good luck

I do vax but I am unsure of this one.   I would have to do more research to give any opinion.

For our family....the answer is a resounding no!  I refuse to allow my children to be guinea pigs to new vaccines.  There is not enough evidence of the long term effects...

My daughter isn't old enough for it yet. But I got it when it first came out because my mom wanted me to and I was ok with it.  But I was also in my twenty's

 It is up to you. I have sons. All of the young ladies that I know (same age as my oldest) have had it. Only 1 of the 5 has stopped the series. Headache.... her Dr. decided it could have been a mild reaction and told the parents not to persue the rest of the series.

As far as children being used a "guinea pigs" well, a couple of my sons have participated in clinical trials.... so I am not one to comment in that regard.

There have been a lot of reactions to them.  They were just now doing the clinicals in India and so many girls had reactions and several dies, the Indian government said they would not allow these young Indian girls to be guinea pigs (they used those words) and halted all the trials.  I wish our government cared about our kids that way.

 Nope not for my dd. More negatives, than positives and was produced much too quickly. Good luck. (Oh and we do vax)

[jess227ny]

I'm just curious how old are your sons and what clinical trials did they participate in...

My daughter will be getting the vaccine.  I want to protect her from HPV, the leading cause of cervical cancer.
