The gynecologist's little speech about the HPV vaccine was ridiculous. It's currently only recommended for women up to age 26, which leaves out Lt. Van Buren, even 5 years ago. From the CDC website: "about 30% of cervical cancers will not be prevented by the vaccine, so it will be important for women to continue getting screened for cervical cancer (regular Pap tests)."

A real doctor would have impressed upon her patient the need for regular cancer screenings instead of a silly "if only there had been a vaccine then" speculation.

No matter what you think of the HPV vaccine, this was a disgusting product placement from a show I can usually count on for superior writing.
