A member asked:
What's the expert opinion, could the hpv vaccine be given to children as a part of the regular vaccination schedule?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Already recommended: The vaccine is already recommended by the cdc, aap, aafp and acip as part of the routine childhood immunization schedule for both boys/ girls. We give it in our office starting at the 11 y/o well child check. Not many, if any states mandate it for school yet because of its controversy related to it being a vaccine to protect against an infection you get with sex. Get it sooner rather that too late.
