Boys ages 11 and 12 years should be routinely vaccinated against the human papillomavirus, or HPV, to protect against anal, mouth and neck cancers that can result from sexual activity, a federal advisory committee said.
Senh: If girls are already being vaccinated for it, it would only make sense for boys to do it too. Sure, it's yet another vaccine for kids, but they can get it later between ages 9-26 and it prevents cancer. It's a tough decision to make for boys because the virus is mostly transferred by homosexuals, but it's difficult to tell if your boy's gay at age 9-13.
