Who it’s for

The HPV vaccine is typically recommended for young people, usually between the ages of 9 and 26, before they become sexually active. It is offered to help protect against certain strains of the human papillomavirus that may lead to health issues later in life. While primarily aimed at adolescents, some adults may also be eligible. It is important to discuss your individual circumstances with a healthcare professional to determine if the vaccine is suitable for you or your child.

How it works

The HPV vaccine helps your body develop protection against certain types of human papillomavirus (HPV). When you receive the vaccine, it stimulates your immune system to recognise and respond to specific HPV types. This response can prepare your body to react more effectively if you come into contact with the virus in the future. The vaccine is usually given as a course of two or three doses over several months. It is important to complete the full course as recommended by your healthcare provider. For personalised advice and to see if the vaccine is suitable for you, please consult a prescriber.

What to expect

When you receive the HPV vaccine, it is usually administered as a series of two or three injections over several months, depending on your age and vaccination schedule. You may experience mild side effects such as soreness at the injection site, slight swelling, or a low-grade fever, which typically resolve within a few days. It is important to attend all scheduled appointments to complete the full course for optimal protection. If you have any concerns or experience unusual symptoms following vaccination, please consult your healthcare provider for advice and support. Remember, the vaccine is part of a broader approach to maintaining your health.
