I remember having measles. I lay still in a darkened room because light hurt my eyes, not caring about anything or anyone. I was sick beyond caring at seven years old. I remember now at 84 years of age because I have never been sicker since.

HPV vaccines were introduced in Australia in 2007 for teenage girls 13 and over and for boys in 2013. They are free and given at schools through public vaccination programs. We are waiting to hear stats for certain cancers in boys.
