< Back Understanding HPV and the Importance of Vaccination with Samitivej Hospital 27 May 2024 What is HPV? The Human Papillomavirus (HPV) is a common factor behind the onset of several forms of cancer, such as cervical cancer, vaginal cancer, vulvar cancer, anal cancer, genital warts and oropharyngeal cancer. Women aged 9-26 should consider getting the HPV vaccine to lower the risk of cervical cancer. The HPV vaccine is recommended for women between the ages of 9 and 26. This vaccine has been shown to reduce the likelihood of cervical cancer by as much as 90%, and research suggests that its protection against HPV can last for at least 10 years. If I am over 26 years old, can I still receive the HPV vaccine? For adults aged 27-45 who have not previously been vaccinated against cervical cancer, it is advisable to consult a doctor to determine whether the HPV vaccine is appropriate for you and to undergo cervical cancer screening.
