What is the HPV vaccine? Gynecologists know that some female cancers are caused by HPV, the human papillomavirus, which is perhaps the most common sexually transmitted infection. A vaccine that offers protection from some types of HPV can be given to women between the ages of 13 and 26 who did not have all the shots when they were younger. Ask your gynecologist if this is a good idea for you.
