Description
Mandatory vaccination of public school students is required to prevent the spread of highly infectious diseases. Some states are considering adding the HPV vaccine to list of mandatory vaccines for middle school students. HPV is a sexually transmitted disease that has been linked to the development of cervical cancer. Do you think that the HPV vaccine should be mandated? Make sure to support your opinion with data. The CDC website and article (“Close to Half of American Adults Infected with HPV, Survey Finds”) may help. You can also do your own research.
