Ideally, one would want to get vaccinated before her first sexual experience, but women who have not yet come into HPV contact who have had sexual intercourse already will also benefit from the vaccine. The New England Journal of Medicine (Haug, 2008) notes that there have been very promising results in clinical trials and the two vaccines created have been for the most important "oncogenic strains (i
These deaths can be prevented if all women and girls who want it can be vaccinated. Some argue that the Canadian health care system is an "already overburdened system" (Norsigian et al
Paternalism Paternalism refers to the "obligation to secure the best interests of others, even if against their wishes" (Anonymous, 2011). While the paternalistic perspective is very controversial in areas where the behavior in question only impacts the person engaging in the behavior, such as in the area of sin taxes, it becomes less controversial when discussing behavior that impacts the health of others (Buchanan, 2008)
Parents who protest mandatory vaccination are not concerned with world health -- but they should be. Mass immunization programs bring about herd immunity -- a condition that occurs when the percentage of people in a population who have been immunized reaches such high levels that they are protected from a certain disease and so are those who have compromised or weak immune systems who cannot be immunized -- "the disease cannot gain a foothold in the community" (Ciolli, 2008)
Here is an example: Last week, Vaccine Truth highlighted a United States military handbook, "DDT and Other Insecticides and Repellents," published in 1946 that shows chemical compounds used in formulating the pesticide DDT are presently injected into babies. (Frompovich, 2011)
Studies regarding the links between these conditions have been primarily inconclusive, some even suggesting that the links do not exist. For example, a 2001 study published by the American Academy of Pediatrics suggested that no significant link between vaccinations and diabetes existed (DeStefano et al
). Similarly, a 2002 population-based study of the link between Autism and Measles Mumps and Rubella vaccinations suggested that no link between Autism and these vaccinations exists (Madsen et al
It is best to approach the evidence has been documented and presented to the public by authors like Harris Coulter and Barbara Loe Fisher, in their books DPT: A Shot in the Dark (1985), and Vaccination, Social Violence and Criminality: The Assault on the American Brain (1990), demonstrate the link that is being ignored by the FDA, physicians, and pharmaceutical companies in the name of profit (James, Walene, 1995). Most pediatricians today hold that the manner in which the vaccine is administered is the key; while other specialists and experts maintain that it is the preservative (thimersol) in the vaccines, and still others contend that it is the vaccines themselves (Schulman, Daniel, 2005)
The Evidence The evidence supporting the neurological and other kinds of permanent damage done to children by the DPT vaccines is vast. It is best to approach the evidence has been documented and presented to the public by authors like Harris Coulter and Barbara Loe Fisher, in their books DPT: A Shot in the Dark (1985), and Vaccination, Social Violence and Criminality: The Assault on the American Brain (1990), demonstrate the link that is being ignored by the FDA, physicians, and pharmaceutical companies in the name of profit (James, Walene, 1995)

The data in favor of these hypotheses have led to a great amount of social alarm, especially in certain areas that are more inclined to accept 'alternative' therapies and hypotheses." (Pallares, 2010) (Gross, 2009) These conclusions have contributed to various law suits which are targeting manufacturers based upon these theories
Instead, they are increasing their vulnerabilities to different outbreaks such as: the flu, measles and chicken pox. (Offit, 2008) (Honey, 2008) Evidence of this can be seen in a study conducted by Offit (2008)
This refuted many of the previous findings about high levels of mercury inside these vaccines. (Hviid, 2003) To fully understand what is happening requires examining the causes of autism and if there is a connection with different immunizations
This will impact how they grow and mature into an adult. (Jick, 2003) (Gross, 2009) The actual causes of autism are unknown

" (Johns ) Vaccination has been proven to be an effective barrier to certain very virulent diseases for as long as fifteen years. (Mansfield, 25) The second and most important point follows from the above and refers to the importance of herd immunity
¶ … vaccination process is one that dates back as far as the 1700's; the process took place using a needle that was inserted in a smallpox blister that had ruptured and then that same needle would be inserted under the skin of an uninfected individual (Okonek & Peters, p
It was finally eradicated only comparatively recently, in 1979, but by that time it had killed between 300 -- 500 million people in the 20th century alone. It was vaccinations that put an end to that (Koplow 2003)
The United States, for instance, conducted a study of the efficiency of a mono-dose of anti-varicella vaccination and found out that this was decreased, since epidemics were created, with the sole benefit of the children suffering from lighter forms of the illness. In light of these findings then, the recommendation was that of administering a second dose (Lopez, Guris, Zimmerman, Gladden, Moore, Haselow, Loparev, Schmid, Jumaan and Snow, 2006)
