The CBS Evening News (7/30, story 8, 1:25, Pelley) reported that “a report out today found that just 60 percent of teenaged girls and only 42 percent of boys have received” the HPV vaccine. CBS’ Dr. Jon Lapook said that “the CDC said the number one reason is that not enough pediatricians are recommending it.”
