Re: A Vaccine to Save Women's Lives From: Raymond Stephen (stephen.raymond@dhhs.tas.gov.au) Wed Feb 7 15:12:28 2007 Messages sorted by: [ date ][ thread ][ subject ][ author ] Next message: Raymond Stephen: "Re: A Vaccine to Save Women's Lives" Previous message: Dean Huffman .: "Re: A Vaccine to Save Women's Lives" In reply to: Jamie: "Re: A Vaccine to Save Womens Lives" There have been several decades of experience with "benefits that can be duplicated without the risk", and the number of deaths from Ca Cervix has fallen only slightly. I think it is time to stop pretending that "behaviour choice affords the same protection", because behaviour choice has been shown to be only so-so. While I agree that the vaccine should be given only to those who agree, the opt-out approach is the most democratic way of achieving the public health benefits that can come from this.

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
