Am I correct in saying that the vaccine does not need to be given at age 12? Would it be ok to wait until she turned 16?

Coming out of lurking to say my 2 daughters got the shot at ages 13 and 14. My stepsister had cervical cancer from the hpv virus at 30 years old suffered for 10 years till she died at 40. Was so glad when this vaccine came out. Daughters are now 19 and 21. Have suffered no side effects.
On a side note, make sure you get all 3 shots done in the time frame the doctor gives you. We didn't, we let too much time pass between the first 2 shots so we had to start all over again/. They had to have 4 shots total.. Oh boy the girls were not happy about that!

Parents are responsible for bringing up their own children with whatever moral standards they desire. Twelve years of ""promiscuity is a bad thing"" in-house training isn't going to be washed away by one vaccination.
What stupid posts!!
What's your problem with my post?

You may think the post is "stupid", but what Clover said is true.

My 21 year old got it when she was about 14. My 12 year old will be receiving it as well. Oldest daughter had some tenderness in injection site and said the vaccine felt "weird" going in, but nothing else. Definitely believe the benefit outweighs the discomfort of injection and the possibility of the side effects.

At the time DD got the vaccination they were not yet giving it to boys, but they were saying to give it to the girls early because they needed to have never had any sexual contact for it to be effective. I believe that was the reason for the 12-13 year old range. I believe that now anyone can get the vaccination. My cousin had her daughters get vaccinated well after they became active. I believe they received their vaccinations around age 25.
And for the poster who thinks it gives permission to do whatever they want? Well, DD was a virgin then, and still is today at 21; she will be (by her choice) when she gets married July 2015. One shot doesn't wash away what you've taught them from day one. JMO.

I have two granddaughters 11 and 12 years old. I don't remember what my daughter said about that.
Come to think of it I will ask her.
I don't understand about it. What it does.

I don't think cassaday was saying she thought it gave permission. My understanding was that she was playing devil's advocate, saying "some people" (but not necessarily her) thought that.
I asked earlier in the thread, about what reasons anyone could possibly have for thinking this vaccination was a bad idea. I believe cassaday was answering my question, rather than stating her own opinion.
cassaday, please chime in if I read you incorrectly.
