FAQ - Frequently Asked Questions about the HPV Vaccine
How effective is the HPV vaccine?
The HPV vaccine is very effective and can prevent up to 90% of all cases of cervical cancer when given before exposure to the virus.
When is it too late to get the HPV vaccine?
It is never too late to get vaccinated. The vaccine is approved for people up to 45 years of age, although it provides the greatest protection when given before sexual debut.
Can men also get the HPV vaccine?
Yes, the HPV vaccine is also recommended for boys and men, as it protects against HPV-related cancers such as anal cancer and head and neck cancer.
How long does protection from the HPV vaccine last?
Studies suggest that the protection is long-lasting, at least 10 years, and possibly lifelong.
Do I still need to be screened for cervical cancer even though I have been vaccinated?
Yes, it is still recommended to participate in the regular screening program, as the vaccine does not protect against all types of HPV that can cause cervical cancer.
Can I get the HPV vaccine if I have already had an HPV infection?
Yes, you can still benefit from the vaccine as it protects against several different types of HPV. Even if you have been exposed to one type, the vaccine can protect against others.
Is there an age limit for getting the HPV vaccine?
The HPV vaccine is approved for people aged 9 to 45. The greatest benefit is obtained by vaccination before sexual debut.
What is the difference between the 2-dose and 3-dose vaccination schedule?
People under 15 years of age have a stronger immune response and therefore only need 2 doses. People 15 years of age and older receive 3 doses to ensure optimal protection.
Can the HPV vaccine affect fertility?
No, there is no scientific evidence that the HPV vaccine affects fertility. On the contrary, it can protect against diseases that can potentially affect fertility.
