Early vaccination can provide better protection

  • According to major national and international bodies, the HPV vaccine age eligibility starts as early as 9 years of age.
     
  • In fact, HPV prevention before HPV exposure, i.e., the first sexual contact, can help provide a high protection of more than 90%.
     
  • Ask your doctor for HPV prevention including HPV vaccination to avoid HPV-related complications in the future.

So, does this mean sexually active women do not need HPV vaccination?

  • On the contrary, HPV infection peaks at one of the most productive periods of a woman’s life. Which means that even if you haven’t taken your HPV vaccine yet, you can still consult a gynaecologist on the next course of action.
     
  • More than 99% of women in the reproductive phase can benefit from HPV vaccination. It helps prevent the progression of infection to precancers. However, it cannot prevent or treat existing infections. It can also help prevent new HPV types and infections you may not have been exposed to.

Can postpartum women benefit from HPV vaccination?

  • Did you know that women are more prone to get HPV infection during postpartum?
    3 out of 10 women are at risk of an HPV infection after childbirth.
     
  • Evidence suggests that a higher number of normal pap smear results are observed in HPV-
    vaccinated women postpartum, compared to unvaccinated women, Which is why, many
    Indian and global medical bodies support HPV vaccination during breastfeeding.
