Is it only girls?
No, they are giving it to boys now too. This is the story of Colton from Utah. He was paralyzed by the HPV shot and he died this past year. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4JINYzaqtHw
Yes, they are pushing hard for ALL boys to get the vaccine, but from the CDC website:
Some men are more likely to develop HPV-related diseases than others:
Gay and bisexual men (who have sex with other men) are about 17 times more likely to develop anal cancer than men who only have sex with women.
Men with weakened immune systems, including those who have HIV, are more likely than other men to develop anal cancer. Men with HIV are also more
likely to get severe cases of genital warts that are harder to treat
Is it only girls?

In our family, in addition to the girls, we had our son receive the Gardasil 9 vaccinations. Insurance covered it, so its FDA approved (and recommended).
