Section 120335 of the Health and Safety Code is amended to read:
(e) (1) The governing authority shall not unconditionally admit or advance any pupil to the 8th grade level of any private or public elementary or secondary school if the pupil has not been fully immunized against HPV. (2) Paragraph (1) shall not be construed as prohibiting the department from adopting, and subdivision (b) shall not be construed as requiring the department to adopt, regulations imposing an immunization schedule against HPV for admission or advancement of pupils to grades below the 8th grade level for purposes of this section.
HPV vaccination for girls is far more common than for boys, and because HPV is an STD, you only need to vaccinate girls for it to work more broadly. HPV causes cervical cancer in women, but it also causes genital warts in both men and women, so basically that's the benefit for men.
dekachin, look into HPV-related deaths in men with respect to throat cancer. Men die more frequently from throat cancer related to HPV infection than women do from cervical cancer related to HPV infection. This was true even before Gardasil was rolled out.
Right up until January 20th, 2021, being anti-vaccine was a hippie leftist position, then they all swapped to supporting the death penalty for questioning mandatory injections of experimental gene therapy literally the millisecond that Biden was sworn in.
California didn't actually have mandatory vaccination for schools until 2015. Anyone could opt-out. So it's a pretty recent thing.
Anyway, bill: https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billTextClient.xhtml?bill_id=202320240AB659

Oral sex with women.
Not OP, but good point, I forgot about oral and laryngeal cancers.
IIRC, Michael Douglas blamed Catherine Zeta Jones for his, lol.

There's also some small benefit in reducing anal and penile cancer in males.
Those types of cancers are exceptionally rare though compared to cervical cancer in young-to-middle age women.
Those benefits are also a happy accident as it's not what the product was designed and tested for.
