Why do only girls have the td/ipv vaccine?

Vaccinations: Not so. Boys and girls can receive these vaccinations. Depending on the child's age various combinations which include these particular vaccines are used during the scheduled vaccines for children.

Hold on: That is absolutely not true. All humans should have Tdap and HPV vaccines regardless of gender!

Not true: it is just simply not true that only girls get that vaccine. Currently there are no vaccines in common use in the United States where the recommendation to get the vaccine is different based on sex of patient. Even you should have a Tdap so that when the grandchildren start up, you will be protected.
