Cervical cancer is one of the most preventable types of cancer—thanks to the HPV vaccine. Human Papillomavirus (HPV) is a common virus that can cause abnormal cervical cell changes and is the leading cause of cervical cancer. Vaccination offers strong protection against the most dangerous strains of HPV.

What Is HPV?

  • HPV (Human Papillomavirus) is a group of more than 100 related viruses

  • It’s transmitted through skin-to-skin contact, often during sexual activity

  • Most HPV infections clear on their own, but some can persist and cause:

    • Cervical cancer

    • Genital warts

    • Other cancers like vaginal, vulvar, anal, and throat cancers

 

Why Get the HPV Vaccine?

✅ Prevents over 90% of HPV-related cervical cancers
✅ Protects against high-risk HPV strains (including types 16 and 18)
✅ Reduces risk of other genital and oral cancers
✅ Most effective before exposure to the virus (before becoming sexually active)
✅ Safe, well-studied, and approved worldwide

Who Should Get Vaccinated?

Girls and boys:

  • Ages 9 to 14 (ideal age group – strongest immune response)

  • Can be started as early as 9 and completed by age 15 with 2 doses

Teens and young adults:

  • Ages 15 to 26 (need 3 doses) if not already vaccinated

  • Still effective even if already sexually active or had an HPV infection

Adults 27 to 45 years:

  • May also benefit in some cases (especially with high-risk exposure)

  • Discuss with your doctor to determine if vaccination is right for you

How Is the Vaccine Given?

  • Intramuscular injection in the arm

  • Given in 2 or 3 doses depending on age at first dose

  • Vaccine brands include: Gardasil 9 (covers 9 HPV strains)

 

Is the Vaccine Safe?

Yes. The HPV vaccine has undergone extensive safety testing and is approved by WHO, CDC, and FDA. Side effects are usually mild and temporary, such as:

  • Soreness at the injection site

  • Low-grade fever or fatigue

  • Headache or dizziness

 

HPV Vaccination Does Not Replace Regular Screening

Even after getting vaccinated, regular Pap smears and HPV testing are still essential, as the vaccine doesn’t protect against all cancer-causing HPV types.
