If you decide to get it as an adult … it’s just not worth it to the taxpayer to vaccinate you anymore.
nah this pitting of the individual against the collective has got to stop. The person that needs the vaccine deserves treatment, regardless of their ability to pay taxes. It’s not “the society” they’re taking away from, they’re a part of society. It’s society taking care of itself.
Also who “decides” to get HPV?? Framing illness as a personal failing is really awful
The thing about public healthcare is that you try to get maximum benefit for the public, with the resources you have available.
I do not believe that in any country using €'s that the issue is resource scarcity.

Huh? Any person who has to pay for the vaccine here DOES pay taxes. The people getting the vaccine for free do not. You have to be under 18 to get it for free.
It’s not “the society” they’re taking away from, they’re a part of society.
And the health board has decided that vaccinating an adult for HPV doesn’t have the same net benefit to society as vaccinating a young person, so it’s more efficient to spend the money elsewhere.

Who said anything about anyone deciding to get HPV?

Some countries try not to borrow their budget into oblivion and thus not everything gets treated or vaccinated for free, free university education has limits per subject per year, etc.
