HPV Vaccine in Men

CDC says HPV vaccine is safe, effective in men.
Time (5/28, Park) reports in its Wellness blog that the CDC has "confirmed its provisional recommendation from 2009 that the HPV vaccine (Gardasil) against human papillomavirus infection is both safe and effective in males in preventing genital warts." Notably, the "HPV vaccine was approved by the Food and Drug Administration in 2006 for use in females from age nine to 26 to prevent cervical cancer and genital warts. Soon after, the CDC's Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP), which helps to set the US's vaccination policies, recommended that Gardasil become part of routine vaccination for all girls 11 to 12 years old." Then, in 2009, "the ACIP added males to the population who can benefit from Gardasil vaccination, but stopped short of advising routine immunization."
