HPV Vaccine Age Limit

• The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention
  recommends the HPV vaccine for men through age 21
  and women through age 26. The CDC also recommends
  the HPV shot for unvaccinated individuals who
  fall into one of the following categories
• Young men who have sex with men through age 26
  (including young men who identify as gay or
  bisexual).
• Young adults who are transgender through age 26.
• Young adults with certain immunocompromising
  conditions (such as HIV) through age 26.

If youve passed these age limits, you might be
wondering if it is too late to get the HPV
vaccine. According to FDA guidelines updated in
October 2018, the HPV shot for men and women may
be administered up to age 45. This applies
specifically to Gardasil 9, which is the only HPV
vaccine available for use in the United States.
HPV Vaccine Schedule for Adults
The HPV vaccine for adults is administered
as three doses over the course of six months. The
following schedule applies to anyone receiving
the HPV vaccine over the age of 14

• First shot Any time up to the accepted age
  limit
• Second shot Two months after the first shot
• Third shot Six months after the first shot
• Its important to stick to this schedule in order
  to make the vaccine as effective as possible.
  However, if you do experience a longer delay than
  recommended between shots, you dont need to
  start over. Get the next shot even if the time
  between doses is longer than recommended.

HPV Vaccine Effectiveness
The recommended HPV shot age is 11 or 12. If kids
get all the recommended doses before they become
sexually active, the HPV vaccine can reduce the
risk of getting HPV-related cancers by up to 99.

• Getting the vaccine as an adult can be
  beneficial, but it wont provide the same level
  of protection if youre already sexually active.
  The HPV vaccine cannot protect against any
  strains of the virus that youve already been
  exposed to. In addition, it cannot cure HPV
  infections that have already occurred or treat
  any HPV-related health problems.
• Being vaccinated for HPV as an adult is a good
  idea, especially if you fall within the
  recommended age range. However, its still
  important to practice safe sex and get regular
  health screenings even if youve received the HPV
  shot.
