SHOT MARKET



This story is gaining momentum.

On the blog last week, we were inquiring why guys aren't getting the HPV vaccine and they want it, especially all of our bottom bois.

A few years back, Gardasil approved the shot  for males ( ages 9 to 26).

So what's the deal?

A double standard says some.

It's unclear if or when private insurance companies will cover the vaccine for men.  Also, doctors are required to tell their snatch patients about the vaccine but NOT required to tell male patients about it.


"The CDC's rationale was that HPV and cancer was a bigger problem for women than it is for men.....According to the CDC, gay and bisexual men are 17 times more likely to develop serious complications from HPV. Some doctors specializing in LGBT health are looking at issues with vaccine accessibility as yet another disparity for a group that's been historically excluded.

'We've been traditionally invisible to all sorts of regulators everywhere. We know for certain that five to 10 percent of boys growing up are going to be men who have sex with men when they get older,' says Dr. Gal Mayer of Callen-Lorde Community Health Center. "
