The stats I posted were for cervical cancer deaths, not necessarily HPV, but HPV is the major cause of cervical cancer.

There are over 100 types of HPV, but only 2 are correlated with the majority of cervical cancer. The vaccine is effective against both

Virtually all cases of cervical cancer are caused by HPV, and just two HPV types, 16 and 18, are responsible for about 70 percent of all cases http://www.cancer.gov/about-cancer/c...-fact-sheet#q2

Two HPV vaccines are licensed by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The bivalent HPV vaccine (Cervarix) prevents the two HPV types, 16 and 18, which cause 70% of cervical cancers. The quadrivalent HPV vaccine (Gardasil) prevents four HPV types: HPV 16 and 18, as well as HPV 6 and 11, which cause 90% of genital warts. Quadrivalent vaccine has also been shown to protect against cancers of the anus, vagina and vulva. Only quadrivalent vaccine is licensed in use for males. http://www.cancer.gov/about-cancer/c...-fact-sheet#q2

Evidence of results jiggery? The vaccine was released almost a decade ago, what have the results been since 2006?

Again, its been almost a decade with no true mandate, what rush are you talking about? Only two mandates exist (D.C. and Virginia) and both offer exemptions for religious, moral, or medical reasons. The HPV Vaccine: Access and Use in the U.S. | The Henry J. Kaiser Family Foundation

The ACA addresses this. Preventative screenings are pretty much covered by insurance with no co-pay now. In the past, Planned Parenthood has always offered PAPS (they use to require them for a BCP prescription, not sure the current rules) , and they used to be offered through many county health systems.
