A bill has been introduced in Sacramento to require students entering the 8th grade to have the HPV vaccine. This would apply to students attending public and private schools in California.
The HPV vaccine has been on the market since 2006 when the FDA approved it as a way to prevent cervical cancer in women. But it also benefits men in the prevention of penile cancer.
Assemblymember Cecilia Aguiar-Curry has introduced a bill that would require all incoming 8th graders to get the vaccine."People keep saying well it's just a woman's issue, no it's not just a woman's issue, it's a people's issue. I have a philosophy that anything I can do to prevent cancer I'm going to do that," expressed Aguiar-Curry.
