vaccinate your nine year old child against sexually transmitted diseases? There is a new vaccine for HPV and I think it is a good idea! What are your opinions??

    WOW! I didn't even know about that one. I, honestly, think it's a great idea! It's alot better to vaccinate against it than to have to deal with it later.Or, even worse, getting cancer from it and learning the hard way.

    As a mom, I think you should wait!

    Most "new" things need a few years to have the kinks worked out of them. And maybe in the few years it takes the FDA to figure out that this miracle vaccine that prevents HPV makes you grow more limbs, you can concentrate on other age-relevant matters; such as the ABC's; walking; and solid food.

    Please don't make your baby a guinea pig for science.

    Hmmm, I think that by educating him about sexually transmittable diseases and including peer pressure, there shouldn't be a need for such vaccination

    I agree with waiting!! Ive never even heard anything about it. So its probably pretty new. Most of the time, everyone will go crazy over it, and the years later regret it when everyone is dying from it..or something!! You get the picture. I mean, just dont worry, people have been fine w/out it so far. Right!?

    Yes I have a nine year old, seven and four year old and I would definitely do it no questions.
