HPV vaccines, or human papillomavirus vaccines, are those vaccines that help protect against infection with certain strains of the human papillomavirus (HPV).
Human papillomavirus (HPV) is one of the most common sexually transmitted infections that can lead to warts on the genitals or the surrounding skin. It is a viral infection that can be transmitted sexually and through skin-to-skin contact. This virus can affect the skin and mucous membranes of humans. Some strains of HPV can cause warts, and others can lead to cancer.
The HPV vaccine is a safe and effective vaccine that can protect adults and children from HPV-related diseases.
In most situations, the body can clear out HPV, but when the virus stays in the body for a long time, it can lead to cancer. Therefore, HPV vaccination is necessary for every man and woman to prevent HPV.
Getting vaccinated against HPV can protect against genital warts, cervical cancer, cancer of the vagina, vulva, and anus. Additionally, the HPV vaccine also prevents mouth, throat, and neck cancers.
People aged 11 to 12 are recommended to get vaccinated against HPV so they can protect themselves from HPV infections that can cause cancer later in life. Vaccination at this age is considered the most effective, as it is before the onset of any sexual activity or exposure to the virus.
