HPV Vaccinations Edinburgh
YourGP provides vaccinations against the human papillomavirus (HPV) in Edinburgh. This provides protection against problems such as cervical cancer and genital warts.
In Edinburgh, we provide HPV vaccinations using the GARDASIL® Human Papillomavirus Vaccine. GARDASIL® works when it is given before there is any contact with the relevant HPV types (which can be transmitted through sexual contact).
Edinburgh HPV Vaccine for Male & Female
GARDASIL® is for females and males ages 9 to 26. It is not suitable for women who are pregnant.
While it is accepted that all girls should be given the HPV vaccine, boys are currently not on a government programme for the HPV vaccine. However, following a serious rise in HPV-related cancers in young men, we strongly advise parents to immunise their sons as well as daughters. This can be done from the age of 9 and prior to sexual involvement commencing.
Edinburgh HPV Vaccination for Children
Depending on the child’s age, a two or three-injection course is required for HPV vaccination in Edinburgh.
- GARDASIL® is the only HPV vaccine that helps protect against four types of HPV
- GARDASIL® prevents genital warts caused by HPV
- GARDASIL® Prevents vulval pre-cancers and reduces vaginal pre-cancers caused by HPV
HPV Vaccination Procedure in Edinburgh
When you come in for your treatment we will discuss the HPV vaccination with you and make you as comfortable and calm as possible.
- GARDASIL® is administered as a course of two or three intramuscular injections in the arm
- After the initial injection, two further injections are given after two and six months
- Side effects are not very common with this vaccine and are usually limited to a little redness and soreness at the injection site
- We can inform your NHS practice of any vaccinations given by us

I had been at this practice since late 2018. The staff have been nothing but amazing! The care given here has to be the best care I’ve ever received at any practice. Very polite, greeted with a smile and always made sure you were comfortable.
The response times are extremely quick, always on that day or early next morning, pointing you into the right direction. Even if they were unable to assist, they would always make sure you knew where to go and what to do.
Your appointments are always accommodated to your needs, some imes I was unable to make my routine appointments in person so they would happily offer a Skype call which made things easier as I live a few hours away, but was always happy to make the trip when I could as it was always a pleasant experience.
I cannot thank this practice enough for the help that they gave me, I now feel confident and comfortable with myself and I would definitely recommend their services!
