Should you get your child vaccinated for HPV?

I don’t believe it’s my place to recommend this or that for your child. But I’m happy to explain what HPV is and why some parents would be concerned about it.
assistant
Yes could you explain it to me.

Sure, the human papilloma virus, or HPV, can be transmitted sexually, and it causes the infection of cells at the base of a woman’s cervix, which is the opening at the bottom of the uterus.  It’s a chronic condition that can increase the risk of cervical cancer, and it is very common in sexually active individuals.
