Human Papillomavirus (HPV) Vaccination

The Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) recommends routine vaccination at age 11 or 12 years. HPV4 or HPV2 is recommended for females and HPV 4 for men.

Vaccination can be started as early as age 9.

Doses are administered in a 3 dose series. usually over an 8 month period.
