- Title
Perspective: Vaccinate boys too.
- Authors
Stanley, Margaret
- Abstract
The author reflects on the importance of vaccinating men against infection with human papillomavirus (HPV) due to the rise of HPV-associated cancers in men. She mentions that HPV vaccine programme in men can be cost effective by exclusively targeting men who have sex with men (MSM). She notes that MSM should be vaccinated at an early adolescence age to prevent HPV-associated cancers such as anal cancer and oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinomas (OSCCs).
