The American College of Pediatricians is a conservative group founded in 2002 that split from the more familiar American Academy of Pediatrics founded back in 1930. This should help explains some of their policy statements that Kirt highlighted (although they are pro-vaccine, including for HPV, and are simply calling for more research in regards to possible side-effects).

As for Hawaii, SB2316 requiring HPV vaccinations for school kids by 7th grade has been deferred indefinitely. Although it may return in another session as many organizations supported the intent but not the structure of the bill, even the DOE was opposed as the bill lacked a medical and religious exemption like other school entry vaccinations.
