Are catch-up recommendations for the use of HPV vaccine different for males and females?

No. In June 2019, the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) voted to recommend routine catch-up HPV vaccination of all previously unvaccinated or incompletely vaccinated males age 22 through 26, the same as the recommendation for females. HPV vaccination recommendations differ by age group. There is a routine recommendation for vaccination of all people 9 through 26 years of age and a shared clinical decision-making recommendation based on risk and preference for people 27 through 45 years of age.

The most current ACIP recommendations for HPV vaccine are available at www.cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/68/wr/pdfs/mm6832a3-H.pdf.
