Symposium organiser: Young men's constructions of the Human Papillomavirus (HPV) Vaccine from an International perspective: Gareth Treharne, Carol Gray Brunton and Irina Todorova; International Society for Critical Health Psychology 2015, South Africa

Description The Human Papillomavirus Vaccine (HPV) is a vaccine introduced internationally in order to protect against
common strands of the sexually transmitted HPV virus which are responsible for over 70% of cervical cancer
cases as well as other cancers in men and women. Two vaccine are licensed for use. Many countries target preadolescent females prior to sexual debut in vaccination campaigns. The HPV vaccine has also been shown to
be effective against some male cancers and genital warts. Yet from a public health perspective most countries
have adopted a single-gender vaccine policy rather than targeting both genders in vaccination campaigns.
There are a few notable exceptions including North America and Australia. The current symposium explores
the exclusion/inclusion of boys/young men from the HPV vaccine from an international perspective. We bring
together three papers from three different contexts including Australasia; Europe and North America – New
Zealand; Scotland and Spain and the United States - to explore young men’s constructions of the HPV vaccine
within context. The symposium papers and discussion will provide critical debates for health psychology on
notions of national vaccine implementation policies; gendered access to public health interventions and social
justice; and insights around young men’s roles and responsibilities around sexual health.
