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
Vaccine -- Pros and Cons Vaccines: The Pros and Cons There are a number of arguments being made about vaccines, and whether they are safe and effective for infants and toddlers. Those who believe in them address the issue of disease prevention, while those who are against them state that vaccines are dangerous and that they cause health problems like autism (Elliman & Bedford, 2004)
The Case for Vaccination Parents who believe that the CDC schedule for vaccination of infants and toddlers should be followed make a persuasive argument. The main point on which they focus is that vaccines save lives (Herlihy, Hagood, & Offit, 2012)
They find doctors who support a lack of vaccination, or they work with more holistic medical practitioners. There are a number of ways a parent can avoid vaccinating his or her children, since the vaccination schedule created by the CDC cannot be legally forced upon a parent or a child (Largent, 2012)
Another scientist notes, "More than one thousand years ago, Chinese healers practiced what is now called 'variolation.' The idea was to deliberately cause a mild case of the disease to protect the individual from contracting the natural, severe disease" (Link 11)
Another writer notes, "When it comes to modern medicine, there are few topics more dramatic than vaccination. It's a story full of politics, big-business, desperate parents, sick and dying children, conflicts of interest, national security -- it even has abortion controversy, since many vaccines are created using cells from aborted fetuses" (Skloot)
Two scientists note, "He experienced the proverbial 'Eureka'-like moment sometime during the 1770s, after hearing a Bristol milkmaid boast, 'I shall never have smallpox for I have had cowpox. I shall never have an ugly pockmarked face'" (Stern and Markel 612)
Product Liability and Vaccines Introduction Biotechnology is reported as a new technology "capable of much good for humankind." (Traynor and Cunningham, 1989, p
We have a transient population here than can come in contact with several diseases." (Morgan, 2008) Dr
This work states that the first public meeting of the federal government on establishment of research agendas for exploration of vaccine safety will be held with the intention of defusing "years of criticism from vaccine skeptics that the government is hiding what it knows about vaccine safety or failing to investigate the issue diligently." (Harris, 2008) IV
News & World Report on April 10, 2008 entitled: "Fighting the Autism-Vaccine War" which relates that one of the most "vitriolic debates in medical history is just beginning to have its day in court- vaccine court, that is." (Healy, 2008) Healy states that while no blame was laid the independent Office of Special Masters of the Court of Federal Claims - with a 20-year record of handling vaccine matters - recently conceded that the brain damage and autistic behavior of Hannah Poling stemmed from her exposure as a toddler to five vaccinations in one day in July, 2000
neoliberal deregulation and new communication technologies, the media systems across the world have undergone a startling transformation." (McChesney, 2001) This is due to fewer companies that are larger in size and exert more control from a "vast empires that cover numerous media industries

Sometime in the next decade, flu vaccine will start to be grown in cell cultures, not eggs. It is a technology far more clean, predictable and expandable than the egg-based way of old" (Brown, 2004)
One reason why the program was stopped was because of evidence that the use of the vaccine was connected to an increase in Guillain-Barreacute Syndrome (GBS), a rare paralytic disease similar to polio. It was not clear that the vaccine was causing GBS, but it was thought that the vaccine might be a trigger for GBS (Warner, 1999, para
They rejected his idea in 2012 claiming it as 'bad science' as they were not successful in finding any legitimate association between autism and vaccinations (childhood). However, the controversy has not calmed down and a lot of parents worldwide still think of vaccinations as a frightful step for their children safety (Mattson, 2000)
On the other hand, it has been testified by scientists over and over again that childhood vaccines are not harmful and autism is not a result of childhood vaccinations. Nevertheless, parents have continued to be fearful of vaccines (Offit, 2010)
They also want to understand why there are numerous vaccines and whether they are all actually needed. More often than not, they really want to understand what they are really receiving when they obtain a vaccine (Offit and Bell, 2003)
