Australia became the first country to start providing Merck’s Gardasil cervical cancer vaccine for boys under 13 years of age.

Health Minister Tanya Plibersek said that the move will prevent the spread of cervical cancers among women. “We know that vaccinating boys will protect them from cancer and genital warts and reduce the rates of cervical cancer among women. If there was something you could do now, as a parent, that would protect your children from a range of cancers and disease in the future when they are adults, wouldn't you do it?”, she said.
