Study: 27% of women have HPV
One in four U.S. women ages 14 to 59 is infected with the sexually transmitted virus that in some forms can cause cervical cancer, according to the first extensive national estimate.
The highest prevalence--nearly 45 percent--was found in young females within the age range recommended for a new vaccine, according to a report from the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The figure is mostly in line with previous assessments.
There is no sane reason not to make the HPV vaccine mandatory. If you want my full rant you can go to the post from last Tuesday. I will hold off on repeating myself for now.
