Vaccination Proclomation

In more health news, the HPV vaccination, now widely available, is widely out of reach for those who need it most: college students. Here's the AlterNet story on it.

This is more of same: it's legal, it's so necessary, but that isn't enough. I'm so sick of women's health taking a back seat to either 1) Christian zealotry. 2) pharmaceutical greed 3) moralizing right-wing politicians.

I have to ask: if this was a vaccine for men, would this even be an issue? It's a vaccine that stops. Cancer. We don't have too many of those. They should be giving them away.
