Doctors call for HPV shots for boys

Doctors call for HPV shots for boys - Washington Times: Despite lackluster acceptance among girls for a vaccine to prevent cancer-causing sexually transmitted viruses, the American Academy of Pediatrics is fully recommending that boys get the shots as well.

Boys 11 and 12 should be immunized routinely, with three doses of a vaccine against human papillomavirus (HPV), the AAP said Monday in its online issue of
Pediatrics. This formally updates the academy’s previous policy of “permissive recommendation” for vaccination of males.
