I recently also learned HPV is the cause of the common skin warts!
FWIW, Italy, not the most sex-liberal country, started recommending the HPV vaccine for both boy and girls at the 12th year of age a few years back.
As per the latest data, 50% of the female 2008 cohort had been vaccinated in 2020, older cohorts sit at 75% (boys at ~40%).
Seems it didn't take much to push the numbers up, other than telling people "don't die of cancer".
- whimsicalism 5y agoI am a younger (24) man and I was HPV vaccinated in the US in my public middle school. It should be rolled out more broadly.
