sera300 is a jewel in the rough
I cannot understand in the US we have made madatory for Chicken Pox vaccinations and nearly mandatory meningitis vaccinations; however, there is no madatory vaccination for HVP. The benefits clearly outweigh risks.

Additionally, I realize the sample/test & target group for this vaccination is younger women. But what about the 50 y/o woman who has never been exposed and is re-entering single life? Why is the vaccination not also being extended to this group which is also at risk?
