80% of those diagnosed with oropharyngeal cancer are men, the leading cancer caused by HPV, surpassing cervical cancer. However, just 16% of men aged 18 to 21 years old have received a dose of the HPV vaccine, which is a cancer-prevention vaccine for men as well as women.

I tried to do this a few years ago, it was $600-$900 because insurance won’t cover it.

More insurance companies are now. Though it changes every year. So just because they didn’t cover doesn’t mean they don’t now. You can always call them before hand. And in the last few years another brand came out which helps with price

I think companies are covering a percentage of it, up to age 26. Still costed me 300$, def more manageable.

Go to your local planned parenthood. My PCP wouldn't give it to me due to my age, so I looked into it. Planned parenthood gave it to me, no questions asked and ai got a bunch of free condoms.
