Too few young men have received HPV vaccine, experts say

Too few young men have received HPV vaccine, experts say By The HPV vaccine isn t reaching enough young American men, researchers report. The vaccine protects against reproductive warts as well as cancers caused by human papillomavirus, or HPV, the most common sexually transmitted infection in the United States. Advertisement Many young women get the HPV vaccine to help protect them against cervical cancer, but numbers are much lower among young men, the Michigan Medicine-University of Michigan researchers found. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration approved the vaccine for women in 2006 and expanded it to men in 2009. When the HPV vaccine was first introduced, the main goal was to prevent cervical cancer.

Most young men skip HPV vaccine

Few young men 18 to 21 years old have gotten the HPV vaccine, a new study shows. But a cancer found in the throat is now the leading cancer HPV causes and 80% of those diagnosed are men. Using data from the 2010-2018 National Health Interview Surveys, Michigan Medicine researchers found that just 16% of men 18 to 21 years old had received at least one dose of the HPV vaccine at any age. In comparison, 42% of women in the same age bracket had gotten at least one shot of the vaccine. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices recommends two doses of the vaccine at 11 or 12 years old, but Americans can still benefit from the HPV vaccine if they receive it later, as long as they get three doses by age 26.
