I would like to know why insurance companies won't cover the HPV vaccine for boys?Since my brother had BOT cancer, I wanted my boys ( 15 & 13) to receive the vaccine. I was told I could pay for it at $185 a shot and it would be a series of 3 shots!!! Of course if they were girls, my insurance would cover it. Seems like a little gender discrimination.
