It wasn't required for millennial men to get the vaccine. It's only recently they started pushing for everyone to get it.

There was also a lot of scare-mongering when it was introduced. My parents' church said that HPV was punishment from god for casual sex, and the vaccine would guarantee I'd go to hell, so they didn't let me get it.
