Human Papilloma Virus vaccine

Rhode Island recently made it a requirement for all children who attend a public school to be vaccinated with HPV. Not every one likes this is new requirement. Those who oppose the change point out that you catch HPV through sex, unlike infections like measles or whooping cough that you can catch if someone in the classroom has it and coughs on you. Why, they say, should the HPV vaccine be required for school? Because it could save lives, that’s why.
