📖About HPV Vaccination
HPV vaccination protects against human papillomavirus, the virus responsible for most cases of cervical cancer as well as several other cancers and genital warts. It is most effective when given before exposure to the virus, typically recommended for girls and boys between ages 9 and 26, though it can benefit older individuals too. The vaccine is given as a two or three-dose series depending on the age at which it is started. Widespread vaccination combined with regular Pap screening offers strong protection against cervical cancer.
