We are an Air Force family. My understanding is that this is available through our military treatment facilities. Interestingly enough, none of our pediatricians have said anything to me about it (I have an 11 year old). I think I will ask them today when I take my other DD in. I am all for vaccines that prevent cancer. I believe that parents have to think for their children in these cases. I don't believe that kids think so well when their hormones start raging -- I certainly didn't and I am very lucky that I have not had any issues. I was in my 20s in the mid 80s and we barely heard about stds, aids or cancers that were sexually transmitted.
