HPV vaccine. Anyone?

I was wondering if anyone has experience with the HPV vaccine? Yourself or, more likely, a younger relative has taken...as it is routinely offered only to girls - because it is most effective during childhood or adolescence.

Here is more info on the vaccination program in the UK

Do you think the HPV vaccine should also be offered to boys? nhs.uk/news/2013/11November...

I had one privately inUK all could afford as was not available when that age along with vaccines for measles, scarletina , broncho pneumonia, chicken pox .I feel those of a certain age have not been treated fairly & why presenting as bed blockers .So all lay dormant probably causing the primary lipo-lymphoedema & heart failure left ignored just had diagnosed with no assistance .Feel nothing to lose & when the system has caused deliberate delay by with witholding of antibiotics & referrals by cutting appts when just found disability neurogenic bladder [can't catheterise needing sedation ] I an still getting classic cancer symptoms delayed by letting admin direct & maladministrate our funds.Does anyone want to assist with action?
