Am I Too Old to Get the HPV Vaccine?

Description:

When it comes to the HPV vaccine, adults often assume they aren’t eligible to get immunized. However, it’s actually possible to receive the HPV vaccine through age 45. While it may help to prevent HPV infection, you shouldn’t expect the same level of protection if you receive the HPV shot as an adult. HPV Vaccine Age Limit The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends the HPV vaccine for men through age 21 and women through age 26. The CDC also recommends the HPV shot for unvaccinated individuals who fall into one of the following categories: • Young men who have sex with men through age 26 (including young men who identify as gay or bisexual) • Young adults who are transgender through age 26 • Young adults with certain immunocompromising conditions (such as HIV) through age 26 – PowerPoint PPT presentation

When it comes to the HPV vaccine, adults often
assume they arent eligible to get immunized.
However, its actually possible to receive the
HPV vaccine through age 45. While it may help to
prevent HPV infection, you shouldnt expect the
same level of protection if you receive the HPV
shot as an adult.
HPV Vaccine Age Limit The Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention recommends the HPV vaccine
for men through age 21 and women through age 26.
The CDC also recommends the HPV shot for
unvaccinated individuals who fall into one of the
following categories

  • Young men who have sex with men through age 26
    (including young men who identify as gay or
    bisexual)
  • Young adults who are transgender through age 26
  • Young adults with certain immunocompromising
    conditions (such as HIV) through age 26
  • If youve passed these age limits, you might be
    wondering if it is too late to get the HPV
    vaccine. According to FDA guidelines updated in
    October 2018, the HPV shot for men and women may
    be administered up to age 45. This applies
    specifically to Gardasil 9, which is the only HPV
    vaccine available for use in the United States.

HPV Vaccine Schedule for Adults
  • The HPV vaccine for adults is administered as
    three doses over the course of six months. The
    following schedule applies to anyone receiving
    the HPV vaccine over the age of 14
  • First shot Any time up to the accepted age limit
  • Second shot Two months after the first shot
  • Third shot Six months after the first shot
  • Its important to stick to this schedule in order
    to make the vaccine as effective as possible.
    However, if you do experience a longer delay than
    recommended between shots, you dont need to
    start over. Get the next shot even if the time
    between doses is longer than recommended. Visit
