The vaccine is for all females aged 9-26, regardless of sexual activity. Just because someone might have one type of HPV doesn't mean that they have the other three types the vaccine prevents. It is best when the patient is a virgin, but then again, if they are having sex (of any kind), then they are at an increased risk and, therefore, should DEFINITELY get vaccinated. Therefore, according to the previous post, "Sex in the City" movie goers are very much candidates. -Seek Truth Who says the target is virgins?

Sexually active women are already exposed & diseased or immune. So older women are not candidates unless they and their sexual contacts are virgins or practiced monogomy. Oh ya when I say virgins I mean kissing & oral sex too. Not a large number of sex in the city movies goers I bet. The target is virgins.

At some point, we have to accept that these are OK based on: - Like it or not, they do serve to educate people on something that otherwise they would not know about - From what I read, this vaccine is effective and, since it is meant for people at risk but otherwise healthy, why not let people know about it? - There seem to be lots of safeguards with the FDA and DDMAC to ensure the information is complete and balanced - And finally, last time I checked, we still live under the first amendment to the constitution that permits free speech. Although caution is warranted, I think this is fine. I really don’t have a problem with this.
