The FDA has just "approved use of the vaccine Gardasil for the prevention of genital warts (condyloma acuminata) due to human papillomavirus (HPV) types 6 and 11 in boys and men, ages 9 through 26."
Since Gardasil is administered as a series of 3 injections, I've joked that my daughter will be getting the vaccine "early and often." Of course, the truth behind that joke is that I'm so happy I can do something so concrete to reduce her lifetime risk of cervical cancer. I hope the parents of her future partners feel the same way about their kids!
