Protect against HPV-related health risks with safe, effective vaccination available at Teddington Pharmacy.
Why is the HPV Vaccine Important?
HPV is transmitted through close skin-to-skin contact, often during sexual activity. While most infections clear up on their own, certain high-risk types of HPV can cause long-term complications. The HPV vaccine works by stimulating your immune system to produce protection before exposure to the virus, significantly reducing the risk of infection.
Vaccination is most effective before exposure to the virus, which is why it is often recommended for adolescents. However, adults up to age 45 can also benefit from the vaccine.
Who Should Get the HPV Vaccine?
- Boys and girls aged 12 to 13 (as part of the national NHS programme).
- Anyone up to the age of 45 who missed their vaccine or is at risk.
- Men who have sex with men.
- People with compromised immune systems or at higher risk of HPV-related conditions.
