They really should be. Vaccines always have side effects but the problem with this vaccine and the fact that it is given to a preteen, makes the parents think of sex. No parent likes to think that their kids will be doing that at least not yet.
It would be better given younger and then it would be seen as a anticancer vaccine instead of some how being tied with the sex idea. There are problems with giving many vaccines early so perhaps a better schedule could be set up.
