If itÌ¢‰â‰ã¢s important enough for an Orthodox nurseÌ¢‰â‰ã¢s virgin-and-expected-to-stay-that-way-until-marriage daughter, thatÌ¢‰â‰ã¢s a good enough reason for me.

As Mrs. Balabusta explained in her post, this is a matter of protecting oneself against both known and unknown health hazards. I'm in favor of making this vaccine mandatory.
