We have another 10 years of evidence since this was posted in 2009 [1]. That article quotes Diane Harper quite bit, and has also been discussed since [2]. [1]

  Thanks! Those are good arguments I was looking for (downvote accepted).

    Thank you, also. These are good discussions to have, particularly that we’ll make the decision to vaccinate on behalf of others, our children. Many parents are fearful or confused before the large amount of information pro and against (unfounded) vaccines in general. Add the association of HPV and sexual transmission, and it becomes more difficult to go ahead and vaccinate. I’ve read the evidence carefully and have no doubt that despite the (low) risk of adverse events, children of both sexes should have the HPV vaccine. As I said in another comment, I think the recommended age will continue to expand given the new favorable evidence in ongoing studies.
