The HPV vaccine is one of the few vaccines that can help prevent a cancer. Given at the right age, it protects girls and women against most cervical cancer — safely and simply.
Almost all cervical cancer is caused by a common virus called HPV (human papillomavirus). The HPV vaccine trains the body to fight off the high-risk types of this virus before they can ever cause harm — which is why it’s one of the most powerful preventive tools in women’s health. It works most effectively when given before any exposure to the virus, which is why it’s recommended for girls in their early teens, but it still offers real protection for many older girls and women too.
Dr. Agarwal advises on whether the vaccine is right for you or your daughter, at what age, and how many doses are needed (younger girls usually need fewer). It’s a quick injection, very safe, and an easy, lasting investment in long-term health. Together with regular cervical screening later in life, it offers the strongest protection against cervical cancer available.
The HPV vaccine is most effective for girls aged around 9–14, who usually need just two doses. Older teenagers and women up to around 26 (and in many cases up to 45 after discussion) can still benefit, usually with three doses. It’s recommended before exposure to HPV for greatest effect, but is still worthwhile for many afterwards. Dr. Agarwal will advise what’s right for your age.
