Many people believe that it should not be mandatory for women to get the HPV vaccine. They believe that the vaccine is more about the profits of a pharmaceutical firm than about saving womens' lives. Also there is already Pap tests, which helps detect cells changes in the earlier stages so that women can be treated before it turns to cancer. They believe that the Pap tests are working just fine and there is no need to have a vaccine.
The vaccine is only effective if it is given prior to infection which mean it is useless to those who are already infected and therefore, critics think there is no purpose for this vaccine other than to make money. People also object to the vaccine because they believe it encourages sexual activity or makes it seem less risky. Also, unlike the chicken pox, it does not spread through casual contact so it is not a public health hazard. Parents should be allowed to decide whether or not they want their child to receive the vaccine.
