Does the HPV vaccine protect against? Is it worth getting vaccinated at 22? Do I need to do any tests before immunization?
Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) are the most common infectious agents that are sexually transmitted between people. Sexually transmitted genital types of HPV include the most important cause of cervical cancer. Complete vaccination consists of 3 doses of each vaccine administered as an intramuscular injection into the arm. The second dose is given 1-2 months after the first, the third dose 6 months after the first. Vaccination should be completed within a year. Girls are vaccinated mainly before having sex, usually between the ages of 12-18.
