Who Should Get HPV Vaccine?
The HPV vaccine is recommended for:
– All preteens at the age of 11 years old, including both girls and boys
– All people at the age of 26 years old if they have not been vaccinated
Those people who are older than 26 years old are not recommended to get the HPV vaccine. Nevertheless, you can still consult with your doctor about possible risks and weigh out the benefits to make a decision. In fact, the benefits of vaccination are less in people between 27 and 45 years old because they would have been exposed to the virus. [8]
