What the HPV vaccine does

HPV is a common virus that spreads through skin to skin contact. Most infections clear on their own. Some types can lead to cancers and genital warts. The vaccine teaches your immune system to recognise the virus and stop infection.

Young people are offered the vaccine in school, usually around ages twelve to thirteen. If you missed it, you can still catch up. Private vaccination is available for eligible adults. We will assess your needs and advise on a suitable schedule.

The vaccine helps protect against the HPV types that cause most cervical, anal, throat and genital cancers. It also protects against most genital warts. Protection is best when given before sexual activity begins, but you can benefit later too.

Side effects are usually mild. You may notice a sore arm, headache or a slight temperature. Serious reactions are very rare. Tell us about allergies, pregnancy or immune problems so we can plan safely and answer your questions.

Frequently Asked Questions

South Ealing Pharmacy
  • Who can get the HPV vaccine privately?

    If you missed vaccination at school or prefer a private setting, we can assess you. Many young adults and some older adults can benefit after clinical advice.

  • How many doses will I need?

    Most people follow a simple schedule and some need extra doses due to health conditions. We will confirm the right plan for you.

  • Does the vaccine treat existing HPV?

    No, it prevents new infections rather than treating an existing one. You should still attend any recommended checks and screening.

  • What side effects should I expect?

    A sore arm, mild headache or a slight temperature can occur and usually settle in a day or two. Serious reactions are very rare.

  • Can I have it if I am pregnant or breastfeeding?

    It is not usually given during pregnancy. It can be given while breastfeeding after a clinical check.

  • Do I still need cervical screening after vaccination?

    Yes. The vaccine does not replace screening. You should still attend when invited.

  • How long does protection last?

    Studies show strong and long lasting protection for many years. Current evidence suggests durable immunity.
