This is the first cohort of folks that age who were offered the HPV vaccine when they were 12 or 13.

Expect even more dramatic results as that group enters their 30s & 40s.

I'm suspecting the women most concerned about their girls being sluts had multiple partners (possibly protected by rhythm or the pill only) before they were married. But they think they can raise their girls better than they were.
