Overview
The HPV vaccine is a breakthrough in modern medicine that protects against infection from the Human Papillomavirus (HPV). HPV is the most common sexually transmitted infection and is a serious cause of cervical cancer in women, as well as other types of cancer in both men and women. The HPV vaccine works by stimulating the body’s immune system to produce antibodies that provide protection against certain types of HPV. This vaccine has significantly reduced the risk of HPV infection, pre-cancerous lesions, and even cervical cancer. It is an important tool for protecting against sexually transmitted infections and some types of cancer and is recommended for both males and females, starting at age 9.
