Why are only girls getting vaccinated against Cervical cancer?

Actually men should be vaccinated also, as THEY are the carriers of the virus that causes cervical cancer!!!


Joan R
This should not be in this section.
In fact if they came up with a vaccine to prevent testicular cancer that would be a good thing too and any other cancers come to that.

You mean we should give it to women as well? I agree, if it works- seen the consequences of the cancer in loads of friends and relatives. If there is no health risk associated with the vaccine- then please any parents on here- let your daughter have it!

Just think about that for a minute.

the same reason why guys don't get mammograms. they're guys.

You guys have foreskin, not a cervix.


~~~~~~~~
lmao same as only woman need smear tests Elric it's a woman's cancer. bless you!!!

Edit I've been thinking about this and do you mean why girls and not the maturer ladies amongst us, I asked the nurse the last time I had a smear and she said I wouldn't see it come in effect in my lifetime but that my daughter would have the benefit of it I think it's because like many have said that men pass a virus on to us so if they vaccinate them young enough then it should work so eventually all women won't need to have a smear.

You gotta have a cervix in order to get the shot,....geez!


eraymcd
Because they are the only ones at risk.


mirrors and smoke
Yay! 2 points!

because it's cancer of the CERVIX. hpv in men does not develop into cancer as far as i know.

Girls get vaccinated against cervical cancer, which starts as HPV (irregular cells in the cervix). Boys do not have cervixes. But I think you bring up a valid point that boys should be vaccinated as well, because they do carry the HPV virus, and often times they don't realize it. Great question... and boo on those people who didn't understand the meaning of the question.

I was thinking exactly the same thing. Why not treat all boys.
Glad to see the feminist in you Elrich.

Mr-K-
because men don't have cervixes

Elric, why would a man want to worry about getting cervical cancer? your question makes no sense.


Clare89
Because women rule the world, without them none of you would be here!

HA!

Perhaps because only females have cervixes?


Gartom
It's you rotten boys that actually pass something to us (HPV?) that lead us to get cervical cancer.

We should actually be vaccinated against men!
Would certainly make my life easier. lmao


mikegreenwich
Good question! Make men get those cervixes checked out. And we should also make women get tested for prostate cancer. And why have women completely dodged the whole testicular cancer thing. Discrimimination in medicine, that's why!


princess
only females have a cervix ?

This is not as obvious as it seems. This is a good question. If guys were immunized against HPV then they would be less likely to give it to unvaccinated girls.
Great question. I do not know the answer.


lbaker2656
Erm cos only girls have cervixes?
