In the context of the fight against human papillomaviruses (HPV) responsible for certain cancers, the Ministry of Health approves the recommendation of the High Health Authority (HAS) to extend the vaccination against HPV to all boys between 11 and 14 years of age.
The Ministry also confirms its commitment to include this recommendation in the 2020 vaccination schedule for implementation by summer 2020.
Reminder
So far, this vaccination is recommended only for girls aged 11 to 14 years (catching up to 19 years) but also for men under 26 years of age who have sex with men.
