Here are a few simple lines about the cervical cancer vaccine for boys and girls:
The cervical cancer vaccine protects against infection with the Human papillomavirus infection (HPV), which can cause cervical cancer and several other cancers.
It is recommended for both girls and boys, ideally between 9 and 14 years of age, before they are exposed to HPV.
In girls, the vaccine helps prevent cervical cancer and other HPV-related diseases.
In boys, it helps prevent cancers of the mouth, throat, anus, penis, and genital warts caused by HPV.
The vaccine is safe, effective, and has been used worldwide for many years.
Vaccination, along with regular cervical screening for women later in life, is one of the best ways to reduce the risk of cervical cancer.
Key message: Vaccinating both boys and girls at the recommended age helps protect individuals and reduces the spread of HPV in the community.
