This is the first cohort of folks that age who were offered the HPV vaccine when they were 12 or 13.

Expect even more dramatic results as that group enters their 30s & 40s.

Boys and men can get this vaccine now as well!! Everyone should get it to help protect against HPV and the associated cancers.
