Boys to get HPV vaccine, age lowered to nine

Dutch News  

Dutch boys will be vaccinated against cancer-causing HPV viruses from 2021, the government has announced. Each year it is estimated that 1,000 women and 500 men get cancer through carcinogenic strains of the virus, including cervical cancer. Paul Blokhuis, junior health minister, said in a briefing to parliament that vaccinating both genders – as is now done abroad – would provide better protection from the disease. ‘Above all, herd immunity will protect both boys and girls better.’ Girls have been vaccinated since 2010 and 65% of those born in 2006 have had their first vaccination, according to government figures. Although health bodies first talked about providing ‘indirect protection’ to boys by vaccinating girls, it is unclear why the vaccination was not offered to both sexes from the start.
