JCVI meets tomorrow to discuss HPV vaccination for boys- again. Since 2013 a decision has been repeatedly delayed leaving 2m more boys at risk. Further delay could be a case of maladministration; not vaccinating boys could be case of sex discrimination @BrineMinister@ajpollard1
Millions of young boys across the country have been left at risk. It's undoubtedly time to address the issue of #HPV vaccination policy and vaccinate boys. #JabsForTheBoys#UK

John Noakes was a hero of mine growing up. His trip up Nelson’s column is much like medical training - risky, occasionally unpleasant, tiring but ultimately exhilarating with a fantastic view of life
