Detailed explanation-1: -HPV vaccination is cancer prevention. HPV is estimated to cause nearly 36, 500 cases of cancer in men and women every year in the United States. HPV vaccination can prevent 33, 700 of these cancers by preventing the infections that cause them.
Detailed explanation-2: -Gardasil 9 is an HPV vaccine approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and can be used for both girls and boys. This vaccine can prevent most cases of cervical cancer if the vaccine is given before girls or women are exposed to the virus. This vaccine can also prevent vaginal and vulvar cancer.
Detailed explanation-3: -One HPV vaccine (Gardasil) is recommended for boys. This vaccine can help prevent boys from getting infected with the HPV-types that can cause cancers of the mouth/throat, penis and anus as well as genital warts.
Detailed explanation-4: -The low vaccination rate in males has largely been attributed to the common perception that HPV affects only girls. This makes sense given that the vaccine was initially advertised as a means to prevent cervical cancer.
