Once again, California is binding itself under attack from the vaccine.

Lords, this is what that looks like.

Should middle schoolers be required to get the HPV vaccine in order to go to school?

A California bill has been introduced in Sacramento to require students entering eighth grade

to get the HPV vaccine.

This proposed legislation would require all incoming eighth graders in California's

public and private schools to get the HPV vaccine.

And then 42 million people have HPV and every year another 14 million Americans are so

pick up the virus.

So getting vaccinated early enough to prevent infection is key.

The HPV vaccine has been on the market since 2006 when the FDA approved it as a way to

prevent cervical cancer in women.

But it also benefits men in the prevention of PINAL cancer.

Assemblymember Cecilia Aguiar Currie who proposed this new bill points out because this

vaccine would be administered years after kids get their MMR shots, they can determine

if they have any adverse reaction.

Parents of vaccine vulnerable children have plenty of time to take advantage of the medical

exemption that is in the bill.

This vaccine has been around since 2006 and many hundreds and millions of doses have been

given and there are no appreciable side effects.

People keep saying, well, it's just a woman's issue now.

It's not just a woman's issue.
