India Urged to Vaccinate Boys Against HPV to Prevent Cancers

There's a virus called HPV that can make people sick, and it's very common.

We usually hear about it for girls and how it can cause cancer in their cervix.

But this virus can also cause other serious problems for boys and men, like cancer in their private parts, their bottoms, or even their throats.

Many people in India think the shot to prevent this virus is just for girls, but doctors say that's not right.

Boys can get HPV too, and they can spread it to others without even knowing it.

That's why experts are saying it's really important for boys to get the same protective shot.

This helps keep them safe and stops the virus from spreading around.

Countries that give this shot to both boys and girls have seen fewer people getting sick.

There are safe and effective shots available, and some are even made in India.

It's important for everyone to know that this shot is for both boys and girls to help stop these cancers.
