The American Academy of Family Physicians sent an email to my inbox that included this snipit. Thought you all might be interested considering the controversy this issue caused earlier.
"Many States Are Moving to Require HPV Vaccination for School Entry
AAFP Calls Such Mandates 'Premature'
(02/14/2007) -- In the face of a growing number of states taking up legislation that calls for vaccination of preteen girls against the human papillomavirus, or HPV, as a requirement for school entry, the Academy has adopted a more cautious tone, saying it's too early to consider mandating the vaccine in the absence of more definitive data about its use and a better understanding of the logistical issues involved in making it available to this sizable patient population."
