sburcs is on a distinguished road
Here in Australia the shot is being given to all girls in schools and is paid for by the government. I don't know the ages but it isn't for 8-13 year olds because I'm 16 and getting it through school, but my sister is 12 and cannot get it yet. I know the cut off is 26 though.
For some reason many people are against it. They think it will make young girls think they can have sex without risk of disease. With the amount of sex ed we receive in schools, i dont think so!!
The people who are against it are the ones who will be upset when their children are diagnosed with cervical cancer in a few years time!
