Ok, but if it's going to be mandated as a law, then it should be free. There are enough mandated things people here have to pay for, such as car insurance. You can drive for 50 years with no mishaps, but you are required by law to make somebody else richer. Is Merck going to be liable if a child is vaccinated, and still gets the disease? HPV, according to the tv commercials I've seen lately, is the most common thing that occurs in women, except maybe that time of the month, yes, I'll probably regret that line, so if the virus is contracted, and does lead to cervical cancers, inspite of the vaccine, which on tv, won't prevent all kinds of cervical cancer, are we still going to hold Merck responsible? If no, then the vaccination shouldn't be legally required. To me, that's like requiring somebody that's never used drugs in their life to go to drug rehab, while paying for it out of pocket.

The measles vaccine prevents you from getting measles, the same is true for the smallpox vaccine. If Merck is pushing this drug to prevent HPV, and thereby prevent cervical cancer, then if somebody that was vaccinated gets either one, they should be held accountable.
