While awful, i think rates would increase if they marketed this to males. They may not care about women, but they probably don't want penis cancer or warts.

I went through this fight when the vaccine was offered to my kids. Barely 25% uptake because parents though HPV vaccine would turn their daughters into sluts. Churchie types.
