Just got info for about the HPV vaccination via school and my main reaction is to cheer for a good public health programme. There seems to be some resistance amongst some of the girls and parents at the school however. The stats seems pretty clear to me and I'm assuming the nay-saying on the internet is just anti-vaxxers hyperbolic noise. There is no evidence of side effects that I can see, looking at the NHS Choices and other sites. Does anyone have a different (rational and via proper evidence) perspective - I'm keen to be armed with facts, mostly when chatting with my daughter.

They have 3 doses given via injection (over around 6 months I think) which creates a bit of upset amongst the girls themselves but I gave my permission. My youngest (now nearly 17) came over very faint as she was last in the queue for her injection and I got a call from a nurse on call to tell me about it so it's all really supervised.


My 19 year old has also had the HPV and anything that can help prevent any kind of cancer for future generations I go with.


I remember Jade Goody was in my thoughts when I had any doubts about the HPV.

My daughter (also 19) and I decided against vaccination at the time it was offered (when she was 12). She wasn't sexually active at that point (!!) and we researched as fully as we could the implications. We decided that when she was considering becoming sexually active we would revisit the decision - which we did.


I think our girls were the first ones to be offered this in school? I felt uncomfortable at the time about the 'guinea-pig' nature of this, all the more so as there was the possibility of choice between two vaccines. This was only offered for a short while then the NHS decided it would only fund Gardasil, despite Cervarix showing better results. Cervarix is now only available privately. There have been deaths linked with both vaccines, but I take the view that death is a risk of life. On the whole I am pro-vaccination, but I delayed with this one as I felt 12 or 13 was too early for my daughter to have it, and that she was sensible enough to make the decision for herself when she felt the time was right.

    • Where did I say he did a good job? Yup and Corbyn was very close to Len McCluskey and funded by Unite wasn't he...they're all as bad as each other... Labour have to purge their party of the far-left - they're a disaster. Allan Johnson summed it up so well on election night in 2019....  
    • Thank you for the detailed advise @trinidad It is definitely damage we are concerned about. I don’t think Evri would agree to pay the bill to fix our gate or letter box if they were to be damaged as a result of their delivery drivers helper. Our doorbell can be heard from outside when rung so we don’t quite believe the aggressive simultaneous door/letter box banging is necessary. It can be quite a shock it is done very aggressively.  I’ll definitely action the steps you’ve kindly provided along with a phone call tomorrow. I do sympathise with the role drivers have and how busy they are, which is why we tried communicating directly with her but sadly we haven’t succeeded 
    • What outcome would you like? Disciplinary action? Not to have the driver back? Retraining? I know there is alot of pressure on drivers to deliver within a set day. if he slams the gate, is it evidence he is causing damage, or is the noise a irritant to yourself? You could put a sign up or buy a signing asking to close the gate gentle???? can you hear the door bell from the door? he might be ringing, not hearing and therefore knocking. In trhe notes section of the be livery page, there is a note section, although there is not 100 per cent these notes would be read as these drivers are constantly rushing.  I did a google search for you, i found this and you can try the envri website Contact Us | Evri   To complain to Evri, you can follow these steps: Contact Customer Service: Call Evri's customer service at 0330 808 5456 for assistance with your complaint.    1 Write a Letter: Address your complaint to Capitol House, 1 Capitol Close, Morley, Leeds, West Yorkshire, LS27 0WH.    1 Use the Official Website: Visit the Evri complaints page on their official website for detailed instructions on how to submit a complaint.    2 Email or Call for Specific Issues: For issues like missing or damaged parcels, you can email or call 0800 988 8888, which is free to call.    1 These methods will help you effectively communicate your concerns to Evri.   My driver is called anthony, he is brilliant to be honest. I cant fault him.
    • When I have more time and energy, I will look up the actual number of votes cast for each party in that election, rather than the number of seats won. I'm interested to see that you apparently  think that  Boris Johnson did a good job of "leading the country through Covid." Is your memory really that short? I won't stoop to calling Johnson and his cronies names in the way that you seem to think is appropriate for left wing politicians. At least the left wing politicians have some semblance of morals and a concern for people who aren't in some over privileged inner circle and/or raking in money for themselves on the back of an epidemic. I'm not going to open a can of worms on here  by commenting on the disgraceful so called "purge".
