  Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) Vaccine  
 

- HPV vaccine is routinely recommended for adolescents at 11 or 12 years of age to ensure they are protected before they are exposed to the virus.

- HPV vaccine may be given beginning at age 9 years, and as late as age 45 years.

- HPV vaccine may be given at the same time as other vaccines.

 

- Children who get the first dose before 15 years of age need 2 doses of HPV vaccine.

- Anyone who gets the first dose on or after 15 years of age, and younger people with certain immunocompromising conditions, need 3 doses.  

-Receiving the vaccine does not replace routine gynecological evaluations for all young women who have become sexually active.
