OPENING OF THE CENTER THIS YEAR MEANS IN THE NEWS AT SIX. SUZANNE. THANK YOU. WELL, NEW AT FIVE. A BILL REQUIRING A PARENT’S CONSENT FOR MINORS TO GET THE HPV VACCINE COULD SOON BECOME LAW. IOWA REQUIRES PARENTAL CONSENT FOR MINORS TO RECEIVE A VAST MAJORITY OF VACCINATIONS, EXCEPT FOR HPV. THE SHOT HELPS PREVENT THE SPREAD OF SEXUALLY TRANSMITTED DISEASES AND INFECTIONS. DOCTORS SAY IT’S BEST TO GET VACCINATED EARLY TO PROTECT YOURSELF. THE GOAL IS WE WE GET OUR CHILDREN, OUR ADOLESCENTS, VACCINATED FOR HPV BEFORE THEY’RE EVER EXPOSED TO THE VIRUS. AND WE KNOW THAT, YOU KNOW, INSTITUTING ANY FORM OF BARRIER TO THAT IS GOING TO LOWER VACCINATION RATES FOR SOMETHING THAT’S A VERY PREVENTABLE CANCER.
