A member asked:
Im almost 27 and never had hpv vaccine dose. is it still useful for men who are above 26 years old? online i read its for those up to 26. is it called gardasil-9?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Gardasil 9: Per the American Cancer Society: "The Gardasil 9 vaccine is approved for women and men up to age 45, though not recommended after age 26. While the vaccine is safe, it is unlikely to provide much, if any, benefit as people get older." REF: https://www.cancer.org/cancer/cancer-causes/infectious-agents/hpv/hpv-vaccines.html Yes, it is called Gardasil-9.
