Benefits of the HPV vaccine
  • Cancer prevention: Protects against cancers caused by HPV, including cervical, vaginal, vulvar, anal, penile, and oropharyngeal (oral) cancers.
  • Genital wart prevention: Protects against genital warts.
  • High effectiveness: The vaccine is highly effective in preventing infections from the types of HPV it targets. 
Who should get the vaccine
  • Primary target: Children around ages 11 or 12 are the primary group, as the vaccine is most effective before exposure to the virus. 
  • Catch-up vaccination: People up to age 45 can still benefit from the vaccine. 
  • Boys and older females: Vaccination of boys and older females is recommended where feasible and affordable. 
  • People with compromised immune systems: These individuals may require three doses of the vaccine. 
Important considerations
  • Pregnancy: The vaccine is not suitable for pregnant women. 
  • Prior sexual activity: It is beneficial even if you have already been sexually active. 
  • Allergies: It is not recommended for those with prior allergic reactions to the vaccine's ingredients. 
  • Cervical screening: Vaccination does not eliminate the need for cervical screening for women, as the vaccine does not protect against all HPV types that can cause cervical cancer. 
  • Side effects: Mild side effects, such as those associated with many vaccines, may occasionally occur but are not long-lasting.
