Introduction
Throughout this report I will look at evidence from multiple sources in order to gain more knowledge of the Human Papillomavirus as well as the vaccine for it. My report question is based around, should HPV be made compulsory for everyone and whether or not it should be given at such an early age? My report will include aspects on how it works, what HPV is and what it does, How other biological systems such as the immune system contribute, and the side effects of HPV and the vaccine for it. This will be followed by the discussion of two alternating viewpoints for the vaccine and what scientific evidence they have for their cases. As of the start of this report I am completely for the HPV vaccine but this may or may not change towards the end of the report. My report will be rounded off with my own personal thoughts and a strategy on what can be done in the future.
