DD1 brought a letter home about the HPV vaccine. As I completed the form and explained to her what it was for she said that the boys also had a letter about it. I hadn't realised that boys are now included and being nosy, googled it.
What I also found out, is that it is offered to MSM (men who have sex with men) up to the age of 45 because 'they do not benefit indirectly from women being vaccinated'. I don't have an issue with this at all, I am all for anyone who is at risk being vaccinated.

I admit I do not know a huge amount about this, and someone may come on to explain that vaccinating women under 45 (who were too old for the vaccine when it was introduced) is not effective - in which case, fair enought.
But, if that is not the case, AIBU to think that if it is offered to men, it should also be offered to women?
