Researchers say a growing number of parents are not getting their teenagers vaccinated.

A survey finds many parents don’t believe the shots are necessary even though they are physician recommended.

About 16% of parents also have safety concerns about the HPV vaccine and don’t want their daughters receiving it.

The American Academy of Pediatrics says doctors need to educate parents about the need for teenage vaccines.

HPV vaccines are worthless. It doesn't cute all forms of HPV. And it sends the wrong message to young girls, this is another part of the lefts plan to sexualize children.

That's because vaccines are full of poisons. Don't do it. Type 'Gary Null' into youtube.
