HPV Vaccine Mandated for All Rhode Island Middle School Students
Boy or girl. Public school or private school. If the Rhode Island child
is middle-school age, it is now mandatory to receive a Human
Papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine. The jab would most likely be a Gardasil
shot, made by Merck – studied for less than two years in about 1,200
children under age 16 before it became licensed and fast-tracked by the
FDA. Coincidentally, this vaccine is currently under investigation by
the European Medicines Agency (but apparently it is turning out to be a weak one).
