A Roman Catholic School in Greater Manchester has banned girls from receiving the new cervical cancer vaccine on their premises.

Read: School bans cervical cancer jab.

Why can't respective parents take their girls to clinics to take these jabs,they do it when going on holiday to tropical destinations. The school authorities are within their right to make this decision. There is a moral side to this also. This is a christian school.

I was disgusted when I read this article. I understand that the school has religious values but are they expecting these jabs to turn their students into sex addicts over night? It's just another case of religion being used to cover up people's judgemental and narrow minded behaviour.

Children have a right to be protected and this school should be helping to provide this.
