Adolescent health help needed. how do i convince my son to get hpv vaccine ?

Have him web surf: Plus tell himhe will be more attractive to future partners as well as being protected from hpv which now affects up to 50% of older teens! good luck.

Parenting: I recommend it to all patents prior to age of intercourse. Parents do not need permission to vaccinate minors. It is your oblgation to protect the children.

Show him pictures!: I often find that, in practice, some adolescent males need a little nudging to get the hpv vaccine. One of the things that has worked for me is to show my patients pictures of the diseases that I am trying to vaccinate and protect them against. A picture can be worth a thousand words. Pictures of genital warts and cancers caused by hpv might convince.
