I just don't understand why you WOULDN'T want your children to get immunized for it, really ... it's an extra step to preventing said preventable disease, and just because your daughter might not have sex until she's 20 doesn't mean she magically can't get it. It's just a lowered risk. Why wouldn't you want to take an extra step to prevent it if that step is available?

Well for starters, as with all vaccines, there are risks involved. Why get vaccinated for something that's totally preventable without the vaccine? This website spells it out perfectly:

And second, again, whether or not you understand why I don't want my kids to have it (I'm an example now, since I don't have any daughters and my wife sees no reason to get it) is irrelevant. The simple fact is that we neither need or want it. Therefore, the state has no business telling us we have to do it. Make it available all you want. The people that want it can get it. Those that don't, don't.

This is not a public safety issue. The reason children are given certain immunizations before they're allowed in public school is quite simply for public safety. If we didn't immunize children against measles or whatever disease, if one kid got it you'd have an outbreak. HPV cannot do such a thing (it's not contagious).
