🎓 HPV vaccine: facts for students (including international students)

What is HPV?
Human Papillomavirus (HPV) is common and often has no symptoms. Certain HPV types (including 16 & 18) are linked to cancers of the cervix, v***a, va**na and a**s; others cause most ge***al warts. Vaccines are preventive—they don’t treat existing HPV or other STIs. Routine cervical screening should still continue as recommended.

Who is it for?
People aged 9 years and over with valid consent. Decisions are made after a brief clinical review of your medical history.

Students who started HPV vaccination abroad can usually complete their course here; it’s recommended to finish with the same brand (Gardasil®9) where possible.

How many doses?
Ages 9–14: usually 2 doses—Dose 1 (now) and Dose 2 5–13 months later. If Dose 2 is given earlier than 5 months, a 3rd dose is needed.

Ages 15+: 3 doses—at 0, 1 and 4 months (all within 1 year).

(Each dose is 0.5 ml given into the upper arm.)

Safety and side effects
Most reactions are mild and short-lived (sore/red arm, headache, mild fever, tiredness). Fainting can occasionally occur around the time of injection; clinics have procedures to keep you safe. Serious allergic reactions are very rare and staff are trained and equipped to manage them.

Important to know
Pregnancy: vaccination is postponed until after pregnancy; it’s fine during breastfeeding.

Bleeding disorders/immunosuppression: tell the vaccinator—extra care or timing may be needed.

HPV vaccines don’t protect against all STIs; safer-sex practices still matter.

Why get it as a student?
Early protection matters, and university life brings new social networks. If you’ve had doses at home, you can continue the same schedule here so you don’t lose progress.

Information is based on our current Patient Group Direction for HPV vaccine (Gardasil®9), valid to 18 Nov 2025. For personal advice, speak with a registered healthcare professional.
