Well, a lot of folks are opposed to mandatory vaccination against HPV, but the ones who made all the headlines when they opposed it were the "Religious Right". Just Google the words "Conservative" "mandatory" and "HPV vaccine".

Thanks for the explanation. I was a little confused because I consider myself a liberal yet, I'm against mandatory vaccination.

I don't think it's okay to use name calling of any variety but I believe the name calling goes back and forth pretty equally across all political views, religious persuasions, skin color. I wish that it would just stop from either side of the fence.

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.
