It's so crazy/impressive to me that some vaccines are actually "prefect".

Never seen vaccines employed as prefects. Well, I've hears about cat prefects in Japan, but not vaccines.

Ahh you're really missing out then they let you get away without a hallpass.

Reminder that HPV in men has a similar association to oral/anal cancer, and this vaccine (ideally the quadrivalent version) prevents it too [0]. HPV vaccine campaigns often emphasize vaccinating only girls, but boys should be vaccinated too.

This is one of the many reasons that "parental rights" people are dead wrong. People as young as 12 should have the absolute right to seek and get, in confidence, this vaccine and other health care. Nobody should give any weight to whether their parents want them to not have this vaccine.
