To put this into context, this is taken from the Cancer Research UK web-site:
Quote:
From September 2008, in the UK, girls in year 8 at school (age 12 to 13yrs) will be offered the HPV vaccine. The vaccine the Government has chosen to use is Cervarix. Girls have three injections over 6 months given by a nurse. A letter about the vaccine and a consent form will be sent to the parents of the girl before she has the vaccine. It is up to her whether she has the vaccine. There will also be a 2 year 'catch up' programme starting in Autumn 2009, to vaccinate girls under the age of 18. The NHS immunisation website has more information about the vaccination programme and when girls in the catch-up programme will be offered the vaccine. (Link)
In order to be effective, the vaccine must be given on three separate occasions over a six-month period. According to these Roman Catholic school Governors that means three visits to her local GP per patient is more appropriate than the opportunity to vaccinate a whole group at one time.

Frankly, I feel that the Governors should be sacked and put on the Sex Offender's Register so as to ensure that they are never again involved in any way with children - I would feel exactly the same if it were a Jewish, Islamic, Scientologist, Jehovah's Witness or non-religious school. The Governors are an absolute disgrace.
