A Vaccine for Boys to Help Girls?

[Admin]

Cervical cancer vaccine is approved for use in girls and women, ages 9 to 26, to protect them against the human papillomavirus, or H.P.V., which causes cervical cancer. But why we should give it to the boys???

Thats a really good question Dr. Mahdi, and i would love to know an answer for your question. Furthermore i would like to know if this vaccine would be harmful for boys or not??

As its' shown in the study:
The primary reason to extend approval to boys would be to prevent them from transmitting the virus to girls, thereby slowing the rates of cervical cancer. The concept is called “herd immunity.”
