The HPV Vaccination protects against the human papillomavirus by reducing your chances of getting this common virus that spreads through skin – and having sex. Although most types of HPV are harmless, there are some types that can increase the risk of the getting the following cancers and genital warts:

• Cervical
• Oral
• Anal
• Penile
• Vulval
• Vaginal

We recommend that young teenagers are vaccinated – aged 12-13 years, those at risk of getting HPV, Men aged under 45 who have same sex relations.

HPV injection is in the arm and only one dose is required for those aged 25 and under.  People aged 25 to 45 should have two doses one year apart. Those with a weakened immune system should have 3 doses over a period of 12 months.

HPV Vaccination side effects

• Headache
• Temperature
• Nausea

Having HPV Vaccination at MUMS Solihull reduces your risk of getting HPV. It is known to be effective.

The NHS used to vaccinate girls only, but they now vaccinated boys aged 12 to 13 years.

MUMS recommend that girls and boys aged over 12-18 have the HPV Vaccination to protect against cervical cancer and to protect against those HPV viruses shown to lead to cancers that affect men.

The vaccine can prevent cervical cancer prior exposure to the virus. Because HPV has been linked to mouth and throat cancers (head and neck)  – having this protection is important for boys too. HPV is also linked to anal warts and so the vaccine can prevent against this too.

The HPV vaccination programme has been extended to prevent more boys and girls getting HPV-related cancers, such as head and neck cancers and anal and genital cancers.
