Should my daughter get the hpv vaccine?

[Skett12]

My daughter is due to get the hpv vaccine in school next year but ive heard mixed things about it. Some people have told me that the hpv can promote sexual activity in young girls because they think it acts as a contraceptive, is this true??? mY daughter is only 12 going on 13

Surely what she thinks is the important matter not what a load of random 13 year olds say Does she think it's a contraceptive? If so educate her. If not why the question? Get her vaccinated.

You need to discuss it with her if you decline and she wants it and is considered competent she will be given the vaccination. If you accept and then she declines she will not get it.
Discuss with her the disease it prevents, the risk associated with the disease and how you protect against pregnancy.
The vaccination of a well educated girl does not make her promiscuous. The lack of education regarding sex and prevention of pregnancy leads to teen pregnancies.

So teach her that it isn't a contraceptive then.
Seriously, even if it did encourage sexual activity (which it doesn't) do you genuinely believe that sexual activity is a worse outcome for your daughter than cancer?

"Risk is much higher for poor girls and women. For example, a study in England found that 80 percent of cervical cancer incidence occurred in the bottom two-fifths of the population, while none occurred in the top fifth and 7 percent in the second fifth (Shack et al. 2008). This stark inequality echoes the global picture and calls for a biosocial approach to researching and testing medicines (Bruni et al. 2016). The chances of higher-risk serotypes leading to cancer seem to depend on several cofactors, such as impaired immune responses, which vary inversely with income, lifestyle risks, sexual activity, and frequency of reinfection (Cancer Treatment Centers of America 2017). Thus, framing HPV vaccination as a simple solution deflects attention away from these inequalities of risk between affluent women who have good immune responses, access to routine screening and good care, and poorer women who do not."

Look on the informedparent website. It gives guidance regarding all vaccinations. There is some real/Very sad evidence regarding the hob vaccine
