HPV vaccination refers to the use of vaccines to protect against infection by the human papillomavirus (HPV), a sexually transmitted virus that can cause a range of health problems, including genital warts and various types of cancer, such as cervical, anal, and oropharyngeal cancer. The HPV vaccines currently available are highly effective at preventing HPV infection and associated diseases. They are recommended for both boys and girls, typically starting at age 11 or 12, and are administered in a series of doses. HPV vaccination has been shown to be a safe and effective way to reduce the risk of HPV-related diseases and has the potential to significantly reduce the burden of HPV-related cancers in the population.
