With the recent doing and undoing of a mandatory cervical cancer vaccine for teenage girls in Texas, the same looks to be happening in the country of India.Girls between the ages of 11 and 14 would be vaccinated against the virus that causes cervical cancer (HPV) if the new Indian program is implemented by the government there.
Is this just the latest attempt by the western pharmaceutical companies to "mandate" vaccinations for profit purposes of is there really a need for this? With an estimated 70% of cervical cancer being attributed to HPV, is mandatory vaccinations the answer? In the U.S. state of Texas, the term "mandatory" did not sit right with constituents.
