At the same time, a mother from Billings, Montana, is protesting an HPV vaccine clinic that a local health center is trying to set up at a school. The clinic would include vaccinations for both Gardasil, the HPV vaccine, and Menactra, a meningitis vaccine.

The cost is being underwritten by the Vaccines for Children Program, a federally funded initiative that provides vaccines at no cost to children who might not otherwise be vaccinated because of inability to pay.
