HPV Vaccination is a preventive treatment that protects against Human Papillomavirus (HPV), a common virus that can lead to cervical, anal, vulvar, vaginal, throat cancers, and genital warts. The vaccine works by introducing non-infectious HPV proteins into the body, prompting the immune system to produce antibodies and build lasting protection before any exposure to the virus.

There are different types of vaccines available. The 4-valent vaccine protects against 4 HPV types responsible for most genital warts and cervical cancers, while the 9-valent vaccine offers broader protection against 9 HPV types linked to a wider range of cancers and warts. The vaccine is safe, effective, and recommended for children starting at age 9, with catch-up doses available for people up to age 26, and optional vaccination for some adults up to age 45 after medical consultation.

HPV Vaccination is given as an intramuscular injection, usually in the upper arm. It contains virus-like particles (VLPs) made from non-infectious HPV proteins that stimulate the immune system to produce protective antibodies. The vaccine is typically given in a 2- or 3-dose series depending on age, with doses spaced over several months.

1. Consultation and assessment will be conducted.
2. The injection site will be cleaned and disinfected.
3. The HPV Vaccine will be administered intramuscularly.
