Default Frequently Asked Questions About HPV Vaccine

According to reports presented by Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), there are some frequently asked questions to which girls, especially under the age group of 11-26 like to get the answers to:

1) Can sexually active females benefit from the HPV vaccine?
Ideally females should get the vaccine before they become sexually active, when they may be exposed to HPV. Females who are sexually active may also benefit from the vaccine, but they may get less benefit from it. This is so because they may have already gotten an HPV type targeted by the vaccine. Currently, there is no test available to tell if a girl/women has had HPV in the past, or which type.

2) Can pregnant women get the vaccine?
The vaccine is not recommended for pregnant women. Although studies so far suggest that the vaccine does not cause health problems for pregnant women or their developing babies, but, still, pregnant women should wait until their pregnancy is over before getting the vaccine.

3) Should girls/women be screened for cervical cancer before getting vaccinated?
No, girls/women do not need to get an HPV test or Pap test to find out if they should get the vaccine. Neither of these tests can tell the specific HPV type that a women has, so, there's no way to know if she has already had the HPV types covered by the vaccine.

4) Why is the HPV vaccine only recommended for girls/women through age 26?
The vaccine has been widely tested in girls/women through 26 years of age. New research is being done on the vaccine's safety and efficiency in women older than 26 years of age. The FDA will consider licensing the vaccine for these women when there is enough research to show that it is safe and effective for them.

5) What about vaccinating boys and men?
We do not yet know if the vaccine is effective for boys or men. It is possible that vaccinating males will have health benefits for them by preventing genital warts and rare cancers, such as penile and anal cancer. It's also possible that vaccinating boys/men will have indirect health benefits for girls/women. Studies are now being done to find out if the vaccine works to prevent HPV infection and disease in males too.

Thank for this post But i have more questions that

Is the HPV vaccine effective?
This vaccine is highly effective in preventing four types of HPV in young women who have not been previously exposed to HPV. This vaccine targets HPV types that cause up to 70% of all cervical cancers and about 90% of genital warts. The vaccine will not treat existing HPV infections or their complications.

Is the HPV vaccine safe?
The FDA has licensed the vaccine as safe and effective. This vaccine has been tested in thousands of females (9 to 26 years of age) around the world. These studies have shown no serious side effects. The most common side effect is brief soreness at the injection site. CDC, working with the FDA, will continue to monitor the safety of the vaccine after it is in general use.

Does the vaccine contain thimerosal or mercury?
No, there is no thimerosal or mercury in the vaccine.

Hi,

Thanks for sharing information on HPV Vaccine.

Although there is a vaccine for HPV-16 that shows promise, there are still strains that can cause cancer and warts. This makes the need for other HPV treatments even more important. However, other than that one vaccine, there is no other way to really treat an HPV infection. Instead, you need to treat the symptoms. In the case of genital warts, your doctor should administer HPV treatments. A consult will determine what treatment will work best for you. After the warts disappear, there is the possibility you will get them again. Genital warts can often lie dormant then resurface.
