Hey Phazz.

Yup. Kaleb's link has all the info. Plus this infographic sums up the risks neatly too

Hope that helps :P

Makes perfect sense. Thank you so much for that information. I also read something similar on the world health organization website (WHO). Love learning about sexual health very important.

Most important thing here is it's best probability of effectiveness is to vaccinate sexually naive boys...i.e. virgins! Bearing in mind that the vaccine is effective against half a dozen of the 20+ strains of HPV. Not poo pooing the whole thing, just saying.

TGA approval in men is up to age 26, cf age 45 in women.

Way to ruin some great information with the delivery...

Thanks. It's obviously something to consider speaking to my GP about.

What I can't wait to see is how the medical profession will write off the side effects of this vaccine in men/boys. I mean they can't be branded hysterical little girls can they (well they probably would brand gay men with that label but that's a whole other story). Do your research people, this vaccine has caused a lot of pain for a lot of girls and women. You couldn't pay me to get it.
