THE AUSTRALIAN
FEDERAL Health Minister Tony Abbott admits he may appear a "cruel, callow, callous, heartless **bleep**" over not having his daughters vaccinated with the anti-cervical cancer drug, Gardasil.
Mr Abbott was today asked if he would have his three daughters vaccinated with the breakthrough drug, which has been controversially left off the Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme (PBS).
"I won't be rushing out to get my daughters vaccinated, maybe that's because I'm a cruel, callow, callous, heartless **bleep** but, look, I won't be," Mr Abbott told Southern Cross Broadcasting today.
"If there is a national immunisation program, I certainly will be making sure that they get vaccinated (with Gardasil) under the program.
"The program is what the experts think clearly is absolutely necessary, and at the moment the experts don't think this is absolutely necessary."
wise decision. at the time - not enough information
was available.
A FEDERAL Health Minister (Tony Abbott) can't have found out, requested more info?
The HPV Register supports the National HPV Vaccination Program funded by the Australian Government.
Legislation was passed by the Australian Government in 2007 to enable the HPV Register to receive data from all states and territories.
Who's to say he didn't? He probalbly knew all about the side-effects at the time hence his determination no to "have" his daughers vaccinated at the time.
