A member asked:
I read in the mens health that its wise to get the hpv vaccine as a male 26 or under. im going to be 27 in less than 2 months. is it too late?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not too late: A person can discuss with his doctor about his level of risk and whether or not the vaccine would make good sense to get. Usually, if a person is having new contacts (HPV is usually caught via physical contact of the genitals or the mouth), the vaccine is a good idea. Above age 26 years, insurance companies in the US might not pay for it (vaccine becomes a self-pay item).
