[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Definitely get it. It’s the only vaccine I know of that can prevent a deadly cancer that’s both very easy to get and can be hard to detect before too late (cervical cancer). [/quote] Yup. And HPV can cause other types of cancers, as well. From https://www.cdc.gov/cancer/hpv/basic_info/cancers.htm: [i]In general, HPV is thought to be responsible for more than 90% of anal and cervical cancers, about 70% of vaginal and vulvar cancers, and 60% of penile cancers. Cancers in the back of the throat (oropharynx) traditionally have been caused by tobacco and alcohol, but recent studies show that about 60% to 70% of cancers of the oropharynx may be linked to HPV.[/i] Both of my sons got the vaccine at 11.[/quote]
