A member asked:
Why is it that 27 older males can not get preventive hpv vaccine?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Insurance contract: A person may benefit from this vaccine at any age.However, the series is expensive (raw cost running ~$200/dose x 3) and most insurance contracts are written with language that only covers vaccines for their fda approved age range. That range reflects expensive research data on test groups. You can pay out of pocket, but insurers only cover the target age group.
