Many parents know that the human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine can protect against cervical cancer. But new evidence suggests that some US teens are still not getting vaccinated.
In 2011, the US Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) recommended the routine use of the HPV vaccine for all teenage boys. But a new study found that HPV vaccination coverage is still relatively low among this group — leaving many teen boys susceptible to infection as they mature into adulthood.
