In the UK, human papillomavirus vaccination is restricted on the NHS to girls and only recently been recommended for men who have sex with men. The restriction is based largely on cost‐effectiveness. In this article, Gillian Prue sets out the compelling case for vaccinating all boys. On page 10, Peter Baker describes HPV Action's campaign for gender‐neutral HPV vaccination.
