HPV Vaccine Book said:
FYI- there is a book on “The HPV Vaccine Controversy: Sex, Cancer, God and Politics” authored by Shobha S. Krishnan, M.D, Barnard college, Columbia University. It addresses a lot of questions students face with HPV. The book is available at amazon.com and Barnes and Noble .com and is written without the influence of any pharmaceutical companies or special interest groups.
