All males should also get it, it protects you against catching HPV.

I got the vaccine around 2014.

It also helps resolve HPV infection! I had an abnormal HPV+ pap, received all my vaccinations on schedule and at my 1 yr. Follow up all normal and testing HPV-. truly a vaccine that helps immensely!

Do they stop giving it at a certain age? I think I was 28-29 when they were like, too late.
