HPV Vaccination in Raebareli
The HPV vaccine protects against Human Papillomavirus (HPV), a common virus that causes cervical cancer and other HPV-related conditions. At Mithila Women's Hospital in Raebareli, we offer HPV vaccination services to girls, young women, and boys to prevent cervical cancer and support lifetime health.
Why is the HPV vaccine important?
Human Papillomavirus is extremely common and is responsible for almost all cases of cervical cancer. The HPV vaccine stimulates the body's immune system to recognize and block the virus, preventing infections that lead to cellular changes and cancer. Getting vaccinated before exposure to the virus provides the highest level of protection, reducing the risk of cervical cancer by over 90%.
Who should get the HPV vaccine and when?
The vaccine is recommended for preteens (ages 9 to 12) but can be given up to age 26. In India, it is highly recommended for girls starting from age 9. For children aged 9 to 14, a 2-dose schedule is required. For individuals aged 15 to 26, a 3-dose series is administered. Adults aged 27 to 45 can also consult their doctor about whether vaccination is beneficial for them.
