That bluntness has earned Lieberman the devotion of Israeli hawks and the disdain of liberals, Palestinians and just about every government in the Arab world. In February's election, Lieberman's 10-year-old party, Yisrael Beitenu (Israel Is Our Home), won the third highest number of seats in the Knesset, making him a linchpin of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's coalition government.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has recommended the vaccine for girls from ages 9 to 26, before they are likely to become sexually active or exposed to HPV. Some states are considering legislation that would require school-aged girls to get the vaccine...
...Francesconi said that she did not know if the number of vaccinated students would decrease after the subsidy's removal, but added that if Harvard were to subsidize any immunization permanently, the premium for the Student Health Plan would have to increase substantially. The subsidy for the HPV vaccine was estimated to have cost around $470,000, Francesconi said...
