"Since that's the only population that the FDA has "safety and effectiveness" data for, those are the only people the FDA has said it is allowed to be prescribed for."

Not necessarily. Drugs are prescribed "off label" all the time. My clinic has just said, since they have a limited supply, they're giving it all to younger women/girls. I don't necessarily object to that in theory. It's more a matter of "I don't want cervical cancer, dammit. Give me my shot!" (me, me, it's all about me!)
