Who should get the hpv vaccine?
The hpv vaccine is recommended for 11-12 year-old girls, and can be given to girls as young as 9. The vaccine is also recommended for 13-26 year-old girls/women who have not yet received or completed the vaccine series. Ideally, females should get the vaccine before they are sexually active. Females who are sexually active may also benefit from the vaccine. But they may get less benefit from the vaccine since they may have already acquired one or more hpv type(s) covered by the vaccine.

Efficacy of the hpv vaccine...
Studies have found the vaccine to be almost 100% effective in preventing diseases caused by the four hpv types covered by the vaccine– including precancers of the cervix, vulva and vagina, and genital warts. The vaccine has mainly been studied in young women who had not been exposed to any of the four hpv types in the vaccine. The vaccine was less effective in young women who had already been exposed to one of the hpv types covered by the vaccine. This vaccine does not treat existing hpv infections, genital warts, precancers or cancers.

The hpv vaccine is given through a series of three shots over a 6-month period. The second and third doses should be given 2 and 6 months (respectively) after the first dose.

your ob/gyn will be the doctor that will have the most information about this vaccine. Family doctor's won't tell you about a new drug unless you ask.

This is going to be your choice and no one else's, all anyone else can do is guide and inform you.
