Vaccination is not recommended for everyone older than age 26 years."

Does anyone know why? Is it because most sexually active people would already have HPV at that point?
- MauranKilom 7y agoThey seem to imply so: > However, some adults age 27 through 45 years who are not already vaccinated may decide to get HPV vaccine after speaking with their doctor about their risk for new HPV infections and the possible benefits of vaccination. HPV vaccination in this age range provides less benefit, as more people have already been exposed to HPV.
