What Is the HPV Vaccine?
The Human Papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine helps protect against certain strains of HPV that can lead to cancers such as cervical, anal, and some head and neck cancers, as well as genital warts. Vaccination is most effective before exposure to the virus, which is commonly transmitted through close skin-to-skin contact.
Who Should Have the HPV Vaccine?
The HPV vaccine is recommended for:
- People with increased risk: Including individuals with certain health conditions or those with multiple sexual partners.
- Men who have sex with men (MSM) up to age 45: Offered through sexual health clinics.
If you're unsure about your eligibility, our pharmacy team can provide guidance.
