oh, please!!! Will someone answer this question for me!!! Tubs…on a lake…on a mountain…what is it that I am missing???

As for the whole HPV issue.. My recollection was that by refusing to consider it as an authorized vaccine, a person’s health insurance would not reimburse for the charges. At $100 per shot and 3 are required…it limits the number of parents that can take advantage of it.
The purpose of the vaccine is to prevent HPV, not cure it. So, if you were an adult female (and already sexually active) there is a chance that you had already been exposed and the vaccine wouldn’t help. So the purpose of the vaccine is to protect females prior to sexual activity and thereby prevent the disease.
