A member asked:
So torn on this. my teen is not sexually active, should i still get her the cervical cancer shot?
5 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Yes: Please protect her from cervix cancer and oral cancers. We are seeing a whole new wave of hpv associated head and neck cancers. This has nothing to do with morality, politics, or anything aside from a concern that as much cancer as possible be prevented.

Absolutely: What about the future and can you trust any furure partner not to carry hpv?The risk of side effects from the vaccine are far, far outweighed by the risk of cervical cancer.The vaccine is well worth it now for future protection. Do not hesitate.
