A member asked:
Hello i am a male, 25 and i am currently thinking of getting the hpv vaccine. my only concern is will it protect me or wear off? i saw on dr. oz that it does not last long for males? is that true?

No: I've never heard that, and don't know how it could be determined, since we haven't been giving the hpv vaccine to men and boys long enough to know. I believe that all young people should be vaccinated. In your case you should hurry, since it's more likely to be paid for by insurance when you're under 26 years old.
