Topic: What is the deal with not vaccinating boys for that hpv thing?

Anonymous A started this discussion 6 years ago #92,483

It's way more common for girls to get it for free but not the boys. Yet supposedly it can also prevent cancer in boys. So it's like whaaaa?

idk what this is but i assume girls are more at risk than boys and vaccines are expensive

Since the virus can significantly increase the risk of death, then I think budget cuts doesn't explain it.

190 deaths, annually? Those vaccinations makes sense on boys as well. Just saying.

Condoms or no Condoms, it still makes sense to have boys be vaccinated for it too and it is strange how nobody knows why it ain't being done.

@previous (Ananthanarayanan M R)

You know very well what I mean, and the doctors don't know either. Nobody knows. It's just one of those things we ought to be doing but aren't and nobody knows why.

lol you haven't put any effort into finding an answer for your question and therefore "nobody knows" it's budget restraints.

lol so now it's budget restraints. Nobody knows, and you too do not know. You shall never know.

You seem to be taking my disbelief for the lack of answers... Somewhat personally.
