I think its still early for this vaccine....it was only approved in 2006 and because the vaccine only prevents against a fraction of the types of HPV and because its only effective for 5 years after the last shot, I don't think at this point if I had a child that age I would get it for them

Also receiving the shots does not guarantee that the person will never develop HPV

I wouldn't. Just because we don't have enough data..

Isn't there more of a risk if you have multiple sexual partners?

Yup - which is probably another reason I'm not too worried about it..
