HPV, or human papillomavirus vaccine, is a vaccine that gives protection against a virus that causes growths on the lining of the oral cavity and genital organs called warts. These are non-cancerous growths. Some strains of HPV can also cause oral cavity and genital tract cancer, and HPV infection is a very important cause of cancer cervix in the world.
Note: Prescription is Mandatory for Home Vaccination
HPV infection can be transmitted by secretions of the mouth, genital tract or the growth themselves. It enters the skin or lining through cuts and abrasions. It’s easily spread and causes infection for years together. There are no specific symptoms; only small growths called warts are present.
With the introduction of HPV vaccines, there is hope for preventing HPV infection as well as cancers due to HPV.
Gardasil-9, Gardasil and Cervarix are some vaccines available for HPV prevention. Gardasil-9 is the latest one which protects a larger number of HPV strains.
It is best taken around 11-13 years of age and before 26 years. We can take some vaccines up to the age of 45 years. Both men and women can take the vaccine, preventing infection in up to 80% of people.
