Cancer jab plea for girls aged 11

[icyrus]

From the bbc:

All schoolgirls should be routinely vaccinated against the virus that causes cervical cancer, a leading medical journal has said.

Good idea. The part that really annoys me though is this:

But some parents fear a vaccine against a virus which effectively is sexually transmitted could promote underage sex.

I can't actually believe there are parents out there that have this point of view. It has to rank as the most absurd thing I have read for a while.

Parent's with their heads in the sand!

Because of course teenagers are known for thinking ahead and worrying about consequences in the future.

How can one even start to comment. Beyond belief!!!
