HPV shot effective in preventing anal cancer

[primroselane]

The FDA will consider whether to approve Gardasil for vaccinating males and females ages 9 through 26 for preventing anal cancer.

Our teens have already been getting the shots, for HPV prevention. Guarding against AC, sounds like a definite plus.

there are too many possibilities in response to that; and none of them responsible... so I'll leave it alone (from here)

My daughters did not get the HPV vaccine because we don't feel that it has been properly studied prior to being unleashed on the public. Only time will tell if it really is effective against anal cancer.

Question. Is'nt it called Colon Cancer?

You are smartsmartsmart.
We went thru this in TX, Notsosmart gov tried to make it mandatory that girls get it here. Too much evidence of bad, bad side effects to justify the mandate.

Thanks, TG!

I to don`t think they have studied Gardasil enough, 62 deaths last year from it, and it only guards against two of the strains of HPV virus, and the best preventive against HPV is abstinace. > Thanks Marc
