Medical interventions are examined by risk vs. benefit and cost vs. benefit.

HPV presents a much greater risk for women so the benefit of vaccinating them is much greater. Thus justifying spending more money on vaccinating them.

Men shouldn’t feel completely left out. Straight young men should receive some benefit from “herd immunity”.

The herd isn’t immune. There is migration to college and populations that have not been vaccinated. The men are carriers with their own risk factors.
