A lot of us have boys and I thought I'd toss this out there. I have one that will be in the approved age bracket here in about 6 months.

Would you vaccinate your boy?

At this time I would say no. It's only being approved to help prevent genital warts in males. Maybe once this is out for a while and there is more known about it I may consider it, but right now I say no thanks.

Yeah. I'm glad that Fee is young enough now that I have time to wait and see on Guardasil for her, much less for Noble. I think I'm with you. I'd rather be cautious about it, but then I tend to be a bit more cautious about medicine anyway.
