I am sure you would agree that the Covid-19 pandemic has made all of us more aware about health matters, especially when it comes to protection and vaccination. Personally, I have begun reading up about the development of other vaccines and protection against other viruses and was surprised to find that the Human Papilloma Virus does not only affect women as apparently, the infection rates are in fact higher in men.
