Peter Baker speaks to ecancer about the case for global gender-neutral HPV vaccination.

A global effort aims to implement gender-neutral HPV vaccination policies by 2030, targeting both boys and girls to eliminate HPV-related cancers.

Currently, 70 countries have such programs, while 50 do not.

The initiative seeks to improve vaccine supply and simplify vaccination processes.

However, challenges persist in middle and low-income countries, necessitating political will and increased awareness about the importance of vaccinating boys.
