Amsterdam – For the first time, boys in the Netherlands are given the opportunity to protect themselves against HPV cancer. In addition, the vaccination age will be lowered from thirteen to ten years. This week the first letters will fall on the mat. “It’s easy to say now, but if the vaccine had been there in my time, I would have gladly taken it,” sighs Jos Faro.
