During my son's annual check, Dr. Said HPV vaccine is recommended but not required.
I wonder if this vaccine is necessary, especially for a boy?
It looks about 55%girls and 45%boys had at least one shot at the age of 18.
Did you/your children take hpv vaccine?

HPV Vaccine: 10 Safety Questions Every Parent of a Son Should Ask

1. How many HPV types are there, and how many does the vaccine cover?

There are over 200 types of Human Papillomavirus (HPV). The Gardasil 9 vaccine protects against 9 types—7 high-risk (linked to cancer) and 2 low-risk (linked to genital warts).

2. Can the vaccine interfere with natural immunity?


Yes. Vaccination may prevent the development of broader, long-term immune responses that occur when the body naturally clears HPV.

3. What are the common short-term side effects?

Pain at the injection site, swelling, headache, fever, fatigue, dizziness, and fainting—especially in adolescents.

4. What serious adverse events have been reported?

Reported cases include:

Guillain-Barré Syndrome (GBS): a neurological disorder causing weakness or paralysis

Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS): abnormal heart rate regulation

Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS): chronic pain in a limb

Autoimmune disorders: including thyroiditis and inflammatory symptoms

Chronic fatigue: prolonged exhaustion and reduced function

5. How long has the vaccine been in use?

Introduced in 2006. Long-term safety data beyond 15–20 years is not yet available.

6. Are fertility and hormonal effects in males known?

No. Long-term studies on male fertility or hormonal impact have not been done. In females, some case reports describe menstrual changes and premature ovarian insufficiency.

7. Does the vaccine treat existing HPV infections?

No. It does not treat or remove existing HPV infections or related symptoms.

8. Can someone still get HPV after vaccination?

Yes. The vaccine does not protect against all HPV types. Infection is still possible from types not included in the vaccine, or if exposure occurred before vaccination.

9. How often does HPV clear naturally in healthy males?


Most HPV infections (about 90%) clear naturally within 1–2 years without causing symptoms.

10. Are adverse events fully reported?

No. Vaccine injury reporting systems like VAERS are passive. Many adverse events, especially delayed or complex ones, may go unreported.

There are only 1300 cases of penile cancer each year in the US (which is what you would be preventing), and you can minimize your risk easily. Not worth the risks of the vaccine.

I'm fully in favor of vaccinating for MMR and pertussis. This one isn't worth the potential adverse effects.

Hpv associated head and neck cancer(tonsils and Base of tongue) is one of the most common types of head and neck cancers we see now. Used to be people who smoke and drink and now it's hpv associated.

Nearly all types of cervical cancers (women) are hpv associated.

Both of these can have a significant risk reduction with the hpv vaccine. We always talk about cures for cancers and it's hard to argue against a treatment can prevent the infection that causes the cancer. there is certainly an increased risk of hpv transmission with increased number of partners. So i guess it also depends on if you think you kids will be more or less promiscuous as well.

Both of my kids will get it.

My only caveat to this statement is that while oftens hpv infections dl clear naturally, it does not necessarily mean that the damage isn't already done. Most people who have developed a hpv associated head and neck cancer for instance, don't actually have an active hpv infection at the time of diagnosis. But the hpv infection had already caused the damage, may remain latent and lead to oncogenesis many many years later.

My wife is anti-vax, but both boys will easily be getting this one.

Dr looking for his big pharma kickback, by putting your son at risk for turbo cancer.

RFJ jr is working to get the proper safety trials finally conducted after the fact for all of these profiteering vaccines.

Teach your kids to value love and partner and not to whore themselves and man-made treatment not needed.

I’ve been on the fence too, have 2 sons. The tried to give my 12 year old son it without me knowing until I asked what the shots were. Then Pediatrician came and gave the big runaround. Gave me a sour taste…If all the females are getting the shot then the odds are even less for any males to get it. I still may end up letting him get it next year at his annual though. He will be 13 and maybe I can have more detailed talk with him and see what he wants

After reading through all the information in this thread, I decided not to take the hpv shots for my sons and relayed these info to my wife this morning.
Thank you'all for all the education you gave.

One way to look at it is that if you have a daughter, you might feel a lot better if the boy/man she's sleeping with has been vaccinated.

Where do females get the HPV infection from?

increased number of partners.



So why are they saying for children to get it?

why is a 10 year old at increased risk for genital warts?


Unless you work in healthcare or frick a lot, i dont know why you would get the hpv vaccine.

Good question. I know when it first came out the recommendations were for 15 and older.

Looking at what's out there now. It seems like the recommendation for starting sooner is that the immune response to the vaccine is better if administered from 9 to 15 vs 15 and older. If at 9 and 15, it's a only two shot series and 15 and older is a 3 shot series.

That's fair. I think the increased risk of transmission is around 6 partners or more. So guess it depends if you think that's a lot or not. But sure in a perfect world, those who are either monogamous or don't have hpv exposure risk, don't need the vaccine.

I know a girl whose parents are hardcore Baptist and was against her getting the HPV vaccine because no way their daughter would ever have sexual relations before marriage. She married a guy that was more promiscuous before marriage and she now has long term health complications do to it. First guy she had ever slept with and ended up marrying him. He had no idea he had HPV.

Pediatricians get between 250 and as much as 400 dollars per patient vaxxed . Amount delends on the insurance company and percentage of shots the kid received . If you are in a large 10 person pediatric group , you are talking millions of dollars . This is why the full court press for vaccination during a visit . Fundamentally , this is wrong , IMHO .
