No. In fact, when I was talking about 80 to 90% of the population, that percentage corresponds to the minimum required number of vaccinated people in the target group. We are talking about a cervical cancer vaccine. And so, at the outset, we have to eliminate half of the population, that is the men.
On the other hand, this vaccine also protects against genital warts and condyloma. It is therefore very likely that it would be a good idea to also give it to men.
However, in order for public immunization programs to be as effective as possible, vaccines must be administered at the time of adolescence. We can therefore talk about one or two cohorts at a time, with a catch-up period. That is in the rather technical parlance of vaccinations.
