Human papillomavirus (HPV) is a common virus which can infect the skin and mucous membranes. While most HPV infections resolve on their own, certain strains can cause cancer.
Vaccination is important because it provides long-term protection against the most dangerous HPV strains. This vaccine can significantly reduce the risk of HPV related cancers.
The HPV Vaccine works by stimulating the immune system to produce antibodies which fight against specific types of HPV. It is most effective when given before any exposure to the virus, which is why it is recommended for children aged 12-13. However, it is also beneficial for older individuals who have not yet been vaccinated.
Yes, the HPV vaccine is safe and has undergone extensive testing in clinical trials. Millions of doses have been administered worldwide, with studies consistently showing serious side effects are extremely rare.
The most common side effects are mild and include temporary pain or redness at the injection site, low grade fever and occasional dizziness. If you have any concerns about the vaccination, get in touch with the Oakley Medical Practice team who will be able to help.
