About This Service
The HPV vaccine, which prevents cervical cancer, is designed to protect against HPV (Human Papillomavirus) infection, a major cause of cervical cancer. HPV infection can cause chronic inflammation and transform cells into cancerous cells.
The vaccine is most effective when administered before sexual activity begins:
- It is highly effective when given to individuals whose bodies can mount a robust immune response. Research indicates that girls typically develop strong immunity between the ages of 9 and 15, allowing for a two-dose vaccination schedule which is as effective as a three-dose schedule.
- Females aged 9 to 26 should receive the HPV vaccine, ideally between the ages of 11 and 12.
- Boys aged 9 to 26 can receive the HPV vaccine to prevent genital warts and anal cancer, focusing on administration between the ages of 11 and 12.
HPV is not only a cause of cervical cancer but also contributes to cancers of the vulva, vagina, and anus. Therefore, complete vaccination starting at a young age provides substantial protection against these diseases.
