A member asked:

Pls tell me the most effective&extensive hpv vaccine for men that is soon 2 b/currently available. should cover as many stains as poss not just 16&18?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Gardisil 9: In the US, the Gardisil 9 is the newest version of the HPV vaccine marketed by MERCK .It covers 9 strains of the HPV associated with disease, 7 more that the bivalent 16/18 vaccine. The US FDA approval is for age 9-26. Whether this is available or not in England is not something I have access to.
