Cervical cancer vaccine

What does everyone think? Should 13 year old girls be offered this vaccine for free? I certainly think so. But there was a Catholic school, in Bury I think it was, who refused to offer it to their pupils. I wonder what the general consensus is in school around Preston?

What does everyone else think? Are we really encouraging sexual promiscuity if we offer a vaccine helping to protect against an STD virus? Or is it just plain common sense to educate teenagers about the risks, then back this up by providing protection? I'm with the latter.
