HPV to vaccinate or not to vaccinate.

Contributors of the Web M.D. article Miranda Hitti and Louise Chang, MD seemed to be on the side of it's okay to vaccinate. Information was vague and often times said nothing more than " in a recent news poll". The article cited CDC recommendations for immunizing girls ages 11-12. They also gave vague information for a national poll on children's health that occurred in May of 2007.  The poll was conducted to get parents opinions on whether or not they would support state laws requiring the HPV vaccine. Scientific research has been conducted on the Human Papilloma Virus ( HPV ) and scientist are making allot of headway in discovering the  effects of the sexually transmitted disease and ,which strains are actually oncogenic. To date there are 100 different types of HPV, 15 of them have been identified as being oncogenic. Only two of those strains are targeted by the vaccines. HPV-16 and HPV-18. The Journal of the American Medical Association published an article written in 2009 by Dr. Charlotte Huag Phd, MSc. She cited work conducted by a scientist named Zur Hansen a noble prize winner. He was responsible for the discoveries leading to the characterization and understanding of HPV induced carcinogenesis. His scientific research lead to the development of the vaccines for HPV.
     The facts remain that the first vaccines were approved for use in 2006 but, the first trials and clinical studies were not published until May of 2007, almost 1 year later. Several factors have influenced the publics views on whether or not to vaccinate. Drug makers created educational materials and programs explaining the benefits of the vaccine but, how could one assume that the information was not biased since it was created nearly 1 year before the research was there to back it up. Not only that, any normal lay person would not consider things like the financial gains for the drug manufacturers or kick back for physicians prescribing the expensive vaccines. I think that the JAMA article was substantially more balanced and provided enough information to help the patient or parent to make an informed decision about whether or not to vaccinate.
