Research Paper Free Write

For my research paper, I would like to write about the controversy over the vaccination for human papiloma virus(HPV). Since I am going into nursing, this is of interest to me. Another reason I would like this to be my topic is because my daughter is ten years old and they are suggesting that girls around this age get the vaccination. Some of my friends have already gotten it for their daughters and don't know the details. I am not the kind of mother to just give the vaccination unless I truly believe it is needed. My children have had all the vaccinations but that is because I believe they needed them. It will be interesting to do research to find exactly what it is, how long it has been out, and how long it is good for.

It will be interesting to me to find out all the details of HPV and whether there is a need for a vaccination. Obviously, people think there is.

I like it! I would, though, suggest that you get into a little more depth on this. When I was a child, I think I had something like 5 total vaccinations. I understand that now doctors recommend around 20 for children.

I really believe, and research shows, that overvaccinating children leads to adult diseases such as multiple sclerosis, cancer, adult onset diabetes, allergies (like to food, etc.)

Maybe you should look at not only this vaccination, specifically, but all vaccinations (especially newly developed ones).

I am concerned that this paper can stray towards a discussion of teen sexuality and birth control. If you focus on the long-term effects of vaccinations as a whole, I would be less concerned.
