Abstract
Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) has been implicated in the initiation of several types
of cancers in both females and males. Therefore, it is imperative that national immunization
programs should ensure that both young women and young men receive full immunization
for herd immunity in their teenage years. A recent review confirmed that vaccination
of boys and girls would be most cost-effective under the circumstances that both individual
costs and coverage are low. By doing so, it would be possible to reduce the incidence
of HPV-related malignancies to a large extent at later age in both sexes.
