The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends that everyone ages 9 through 26 should receive an HPV vaccine series if they have not yet been fully vaccinated. Age and state restrictions apply.
According to the CDC, the number of reported HPV infections and cervical precancers — that is, the abnormal cells on the cervix that can lead to cancer — have dropped since 2006, when HPV vaccines were first used in the United States.
HPV is the most common sexually transmitted infection in the United States, and about 85% of the population will be affected by an HPV infection at some point in their lifetime. While there are various types of HPV, certain types can cause health problems such as genital warts and cancers.
The vaccine can help protect against certain cancers and other diseases that are caused by HPV. About 31,500 people are affected yearly by a cancer caused by HPV. Also, HPV can spread even when there are no signs or symptoms.
Unvaccinated preteens, teens and young adults 9 through 26 years of age should consider getting vaccinated.
Unvaccinated adults ages 27 through 45 years seeking protection should consult with their health care provider about whether a vaccine is right for them.
