HPV Vaccinations

YourGP provides vaccinations against the human papilloma virus (HPV). This provides protection against problems such as cervical cancer and genital warts.

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). 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 vaccine, boys are currently not on a government programme for HPV vaccine.  However, following a serious rise in HPV related cancers in young men, we strongly advise parents immunise their sons as well as daughters.  This can be done from the age of 9 and prior to sexual involvement commencing.  Depending on the child’s age, a two or three injection course is required.

• 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

When you come in for your treatment we will discuss the vaccination with you and make you as comfortable and calm as possible.

• GARDASIL® is administered as a course of two or three intra-muscular 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
