Mandating the HPV Vaccine for Sixth Grade Girls

Approval of HPV vaccine against a 6th grade girl Human papilloma virus (HPV) is the most common sexually transmitted disease in the United States (Cook 210). Over 100 HPV viruses and more than 30 of these viruses may be sexually transmitted. (Vamos, McDermott, Daley 303). Approximately 20 million people are infected with HPV in the United States, and about 2 million new HPVs are generated each year (Vamos, McDermott, and Daley 303). Although most HPV cases are non-cancerous, it is known that two HPV viruses cause 70% of cervical cancer and the other two viruses cause 90% of genital warts (Javitt, Berkowitz , Gostin 384).

Currently, laws for licensing vaccines spread throughout the country. Many states are involved in this process. Michigan was the first state to announce a bill to approve girls to vaccinate sixth grade vaccine, but was not enacted. But since then, more than 39 states have introduced the need to fund people or educate people about vaccines. Since the beginning of this year, a bill to enforce the vaccine was introduced in 24 states and the District of Columbia (Bristol). Legislators from each country insist on enforcement, but the most important thing is that "attracting HPV saves lives - during the period" (Bristol). Many children and young people are receiving medical care for their work, schools are often the only place.

Perry issued an enforcement order to the Texas Health and Social Welfare Committee asking all girls entering the sixth grade to vaccinate the HPV vaccine. This order includes opt-out, and exemption is permitted if parents dispute for philosophical or religious reasons. Critics cast two major objections to Perry 's order in 2007 - the state should not seek immunization against sexually transmitted diseases and should ask parents in advance whether they want children or not . During the vaccination presidential election campaign, Perry said it is wrong to order vaccination without Congressional consent.
