Who can get the HPV vaccine?The HPV vaccine is recommended for children and youth aged 9-18 years and some adults. See detailed information here.
-
Why is HPV vaccine given at a young age?Early protection works best. The HPV vaccine is recommended sooner rather than later so that children are protected long before they ever have contact with the virus. The vaccine works best when given at a young age because preteens produce more antibodies after HPV vaccination than older teens.
HPV vaccine is routinely given in grade 6. This year, we are offering it to all students in grade 6-12 to ensure all youth in Fraser Health can get long-lasting protection against HPV. -

More about HPV and the HPV vaccineHPV is a common infection that can cause a variety of cancers, no matter your sex, gender or sexual orientation. Three out of four sexually active people will get an HPV infection at some point in their lives. HPV is spread through the mouth and through skin-to-skin contact during sexual activity.
Getting immunized for HPV prepares the immune system to prevent infection. Since introducing HPV immunization, there has been a significant decrease in HPV infections and cervical pre-cancers. More than 9 of every 10 cases of cervical cancer are caused by HPV. When you get immunized for HPV, you protect yourself and others.
The HPV vaccine is safe with over 15 years of monitoring and 200 million doses given worldwide.
