What is HPV Vaccination?

The Human Papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine is a safe and effective preventive measure against cervical cancer. HPV is a common virus transmitted through sexual contact, and certain strains are responsible for most cases of cervical cancer.

The HPV vaccine helps protect women from these high-risk virus strains, reducing the chances of developing cervical and other HPV-related cancers.

Why is HPV Vaccination Important?

  • Prevents cervical cancer, one of the leading cancers in women

  • Protects against precancerous changes in the cervix

  • Helps reduce the spread of HPV infections

  • Long-term protection for women’s reproductive health

Who Should Take the HPV Vaccine?

  • Girls and women between 9–26 years (most effective when given before becoming sexually active)

  • Women up to age 45 may also benefit, based on doctor’s advice

  • Especially important for those with a family history of cervical cancer

When is it Given?

  • Usually administered in 2 or 3 doses, depending on age

  • Best time: before the start of sexual activity

  • Can also be given alongside routine health check-ups
