Go to this website below and read about the HPV vaccine.
Mrs. Smith has brought in her son and daughter to the office today for well exams. They are eleven years old twins. You ask Mrs. Smith if she has any questions during the visit after you have done your interview and examination. She states she has. Mrs. Smith states she has recently read that there is a vaccine to prevent the human papillomavirus (HPV). She states that she and several of her friends at church discussed this. She says her best friend, Rita, isn’t going to vaccinate their child or any of their children for the HPV vaccination because first, she has heard that after vaccination children have side effects like dizziness. Secondly she and her husband have decided that it promotes promiscuity in teenagers. Mrs. Smith is confused and she doesn’t know what to do for her own son and daughter. What would you tell her about the HPV vaccine? Include information on potential side effects, who should receive the vaccine, how many doses they need to get, and at what ages including what disease the vaccine potentially protects against. Mrs. Smith is not sure if her insurance will cover the vaccine. Discuss the risks and benefits of receiving the vaccination for the individual who receives it, and for the community
