I understand the concern "I dont want to take that vaccine, I dont have sex.." however, making it optional allows the religious right to demonize it into uselessness. "If you take the vaccine, then you must be a slut or a whore..." If it's mandatory (with medical exceptions) then everyone can be protected without the labels game.
EDIT: You can also get HPV without having sex.
