“Over 50% of all head and neck cancers in men are due to HPV.”
Why aren’t boys given the HPV vaccine? Could it be that there’s another agenda driving this campaign?
They are, now. Use in males was approved late in 2009, IIRC.
A better reason for targeting females first is that a female's chance of serious complications from HPV infection, although minuscule, is greater than a male's chance.
