Jabs for the boys: Why young males need to get the HPV vaccine

There is every reason to give the HPV vaccine to boys, who are just as vulnerable as girls to the fall out of the virus, writes Dr Phil Kieran.

I was recently asked do I think that boys should be vaccinated for HPV? It is a question that I get asked in my surgery about once every three to six months and it’s a great opportunity to discuss the effects of HPV on males, a topic that is not discussed widely.
