Health officials say the HPV vaccine for 12 to 13-year-old boys, starting after the summer, will prevent 29,000 cancers in UK men in the next 40 years.

Only took them 11 years for them to decide boys were worth protecting.

Luckily America thought otherwise. I was able to be vaccinated for HPV at 10 or 11

This is a good first step, but there is a LOT more that men need to gain equal access to healthcare.

In Australia their HPV vaccination program is offered for free via schools and commenced in 2007 for girls and then expanded to boys in 2013. Thus far there has been a reduction of HPV by 77%. This model will soon see the eradication of cervical cancer in the AU whilst mothers in the US will continue to insist the circumcisions of their sons in the false and misleading hope of achieving the same.
