Province to extend HPV vaccination to boys

By

VANCOUVER (NEWS1130) – The provincial government says BC provide the human papillomavirus vaccine to Grade 6 boys starting this September.

Just like with girls, it will be given in two doses, six months apart.

The Health Ministry says Gardasil 9 protects against nine types of HPV that cause numerous types of cancer.

It’s something some parents groups have been demanding for years.
