The HPV vaccine series helps prevent HPV infections, precancers, and cancers. The American Cancer Society and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommend beginning the HPV vaccination series for boys and girls at age 11 or 12, but can be started as early as 9 years old and as late as 26 years old. The HPV vaccination is most effective before exposure to the virus occurs.
Protect future generations from HPV-related disease by scheduling the HPV vaccine today. Youth who receive the complete HPV vaccine series can reduce their risk of HPV-related cancers by 90%.
