Because it hasn't been around long enough to withstand the test of time that's why.

Marmalade, I might come off as a little defensive but in an earlier conversation about this topic I was deemed an uncaring, selfish, ill-informed and irresponsible parent from......get this, (supposedly) a nurse. So far this particular conversation is quite civil.

I have discovered from posting here that some of the oh so tolerant are not so tolerant at all.

IF you're talking about the HPV vaccine..........your son was NEVER at risk of dying from it.........no male is.......they are at risk of spreading it..........their treatment also consists of a swap of iodine and alcohol.....a wart on males private part does not put him at any more risk then a wart on his foot.....it's females who are at risk..........BTW, he can still receive the vaccination........HPV is not age specific..............................raven

Gardasil is just for young adults...

See guidelines -

http://www.cdc.gov/hpv/vaccine.html

from YOUR OWN website

All kids who are 11 or 12 years old should get the three dose series of HPV vaccine to protect against HPV. Teen boys and girls who did not get the vaccine or did not get all three doses when they were younger should get it now. Young women can get HPV vaccine through age 26, and young men can get vaccinated through age 21.

I wouldn't call an 11 or 12 year old a "young adult".......................................raven

You are welcome Raven.

Even with my typo, you have learned through the CDC website that Gadrasil is age specific.

Of course contracting HPV isn't age specific...but the vaccine to prevent it is.

Syd Maybe it was a uncaring, selfish, ill-informed and irresponibble nurse.......I'm sure there are some of those.
