Men who got the HPV vaccine had a 46% reduction in risk of developing HPV-related cancers, a new study says. Dr. Leana Wen advises boys and men to get the vaccine.
They should raise the limit, 45 is still too young. Gen Xers don’t want cancer either and some of us havent been exposed. I had planned on getting it but I’ve been uninsured or poorly insured since the pandemic
I have a nurse practitioner and she seemed willing to consider it when I brought it up when I talked to her several months ago but insurance or not I’d likely be paying 500-1000 dollars out of pocket for all the doses and that’s just not feasible for me.
they would have to approve, but your insurance might resist and not approve it, i dont think a pharmacy is willing to risk thier license, you just have to find a pharamcy that will be willing to do it. i tried asking for menigitis vaccine once, they resisted and said i wasnt “At risk group”. i did ask gardisil in the same appointment, since im not sexually active they would refuse .
only at risk group: if you are predisposed to getting exposed to it, like sex work, sexual partners lots of them, or immunocompromised.
Also RSV is not reccomended for <50yo.

I wonder if a doctor would be willing to administer it if asked.
