Great Article. As a mother with 3 daughters, I am happy this vaccine is out there. I think that girls in the USA may have this vaccination up to age 23. I also agree with the reader that posted her comments on the middle east. Since this vaccine is for the prevention of a sexually transmitted disease then it is disregarded because the expectations of culture and society in the middle east would think this an unnecessary step in disease prevention. Due to the fact that the girl is to remain virtuous till marriage, they most likely will not want to get them vaccinated, so it does not protect the woman from what she may encounter during her marriage. Very sad reality, but hopeful outlook on a new vaccine.
