Summary: Only 49% of teens are vaccinated against HPV, but cervical cancer rates are declining, (from CDC data)

A little more: I strongly recommend vaccination. HPV can cause cancer of the cervix, anus and head and neck cancers. We hope that our children will lead a sexually responsible life but even if they do their spouses/partners might not or might not have in the past. By vaccinating them we are protecting them from getting certain types of cancers in the future. Give this gift to your children.
