Can men get the HPV vaccine? HPV vaccine in Seoul, Korea

The short answer

Yes. HPV causes genital warts and oral, anal and penile cancers in men as well as cervical cancer in women, so men are increasingly vaccinated. Vaccinating both partners reduces passing the virus back and forth. Ask Dami whether male vaccination can be arranged at the same visit.

Gardasil vaccines protect against the HPV types that cause most warts and HPV-related cancers. Men benefit directly, and vaccination also reduces spread to partners.

See HPV vaccine for the options and dosing, and our schedule guide if you may leave Korea mid-series.
