More Teens Getting Vaccines Against HPV, Other Infections: CDC
Date:11/14/2011

t "the low level of HPV vaccination is because parents can't conceptualize protecting someone against a sexually transmitted disease when their kids aren't having sex."

Parents also underestimate the extent of the HPV epidemic, Siegel said.

"There are 6 million new cases [of infection] a year -- 80 percent of the population turns HPV positive in their lifetime -- it's not a debatable thing," he said.

The goal of vaccination is to decrease the amount of circulating virus, creating what's called 'herd immunity,'" Siegel said. "To do this, you've got to vaccinate a lot more than we are seeing here."

"The purpose of vaccines is to protect society," Siegel said. "These diseases are emerging and -- in the case of HPV -- epidemic. The only way to control it is with vaccine. The risk of the vaccine is outweighed by the risk of the disease."
