HPV Vaccine

HPV Vaccine

The HPV Vaccine provides protection against several strains of the Human Papillomavirus (HPV), which is linked to various cancers such as cervical cancer in women, as well as anal and penile cancers in men, and genital warts in both genders.

About the HPV vaccine

What does the recent schedule change mean? The NHS has updated its guidance on the number of HPV doses required. For those starting a new vaccination course, only 2 doses are typically needed. If you started your course before April 1st, continue with your current schedule.

Who should get vaccinated?

It's recommended to get the vaccine before becoming sexually active, as it offers the best protection before initial exposure to HPV. However, the vaccine still provides benefits even if you've already had sex.
