I dont' see any controversy there either.
This vaccine is being introduced to all high school kids in AU next year. The issue mentioned above was not even raised. Only the cost/effectiveness of the drug - and govt caved in very quickly.
Ultimately the same issue covers German measles and hepatitis also. All girls here get German measles vaccination at age er, about 10 I think (in school). Does this mean that they'll charge out and get pregnant? I don't think so. It's simply a precaution for the future.
But maybe the issue is made more complicated elsewhere by advertising?
