<p> <i>I noted this bit in Katha's column:<br>
<br>
</i></p>
<p><i>"Dept. of Corrections</i>: In my last column, I wrote that condoms
do not prevent transmission of the human papilloma virus. In fact, condoms
do provide some protection against HPV, although not as much as against HIV.
I also erred in writing that 70 percent of cervical cancer is caused by HPV;
actually, according to Planned Parenthood, HPV is responsible for 93 percent
of cervical cancer; the 70 percent figure refers to the percentage caused
by the two strains of HPV targeted by the vaccine."<br>
<br>
Does any one know if one can get the HPV vaccine anywhere else in the world?
<br>
My daughter is fast approaching the right age for it.<br>
