This seems unlikely. Vaccination is far less effective if you leave a large proportion of the population unprotected. That’s why we vaccinate everyone against rubella even though it’s only dangerous to foetuses if their mother catches it while pregnant.
I don’t know if it was due to production shortages or a cautious roll out, or a bit of both. But I doubt it was due to the medical profession forgetting how vaccination works.
I believed that was do to risk of cervical cancer. A guy can’t get that cancer so risk of HPV was lower for males.
Right, so say an 80/20 split in terms of the danger became a 100/0 split in terms of access to the vaccine.
