I only know one personal friend that took it, he is close to 50 yrs old though. You are planning to take the vaccine too TS?

Re: Hpv vaccine
 

from where i am....50 years old is alittle "overage" to take the vaccine esp for men.... the recommended age for the vaccine in most country is below 25 i believe..

the reason is because by the time you are 50 you probably already have the virus and also probably because of how most vaccine work ..quantity of antibody response decreased in the elderly

to add on.. the vaccine doesn't protect against all strain of HPV too and not everyone is eligible for vaccination
here is a good read by WHO

and also

50year old is not required to take da HPV vaccine anymore. It won't help.. There are too many types of HPV strains to counter in real life. 👌
