The HPV vaccine works. So why aren't more girls getting inoculated?

The HPV vaccine works. So why aren't more girls getting innoculated? In fact, far more parents are neglecting to immunize their children with Gardasil, a cancer vaccine. Gardasil provides immunity against several strains of HPV, a virus known to be responsible for numerous forms of cancer — most notably cervical and anal — and genital warts. When given before first sexual contact, Gardasil can offer near full protection against the most common sexually transmitted infection (STI), as well as the life-threatening cancers that sometimes result from it. As with any vaccine, there’s a small number of people who refuse Gardasil out of a general stance against vaccination.
