What Is the HPV Vaccine?

Human papillomavirus (HPV) is a common group of viruses. Certain HPV types are associated with cervical cancer and other cancers, while other types can cause genital warts.

HPV vaccines are designed to help the immune system develop protection against specific HPV types. They do not contain live HPV and cannot cause HPV infection.

Vaccination is most effective when given before exposure to HPV, although some adults who have not previously been fully vaccinated may also benefit. A doctor can advise whether HPV vaccination is appropriate based on age, vaccination history, and individual circumstances.

Gardasil 9 Vaccine in Dubai

Gardasil 9 is a 9-valent HPV vaccine that protects against HPV types 6, 11, 16, 18, 31, 33, 45, 52, and 58.

These HPV types are associated with several HPV-related conditions, including cervical cancer, other anogenital cancers, some head and neck cancers, and genital warts.

If you are searching for the Gardasil 9 vaccine in Dubai, contact DRHC to confirm current vaccine availability and arrange an assessment with the appropriate doctor.

Who Can Get the HPV Vaccine?

HPV vaccination may be recommended for adolescents and adults depending on age, previous vaccination, medical history, and individual risk factors.

• Adolescents: Vaccination at a younger age can provide protection before potential exposure to HPV.
• Women: HPV vaccination can help protect against HPV types associated with cervical cancer and other HPV-related conditions.
• Men: HPV vaccination can also protect males against HPV-related conditions, including genital warts and certain cancers.
• Adults who were not previously vaccinated: Some adults may still be eligible for HPV vaccination. Suitability should be discussed with a doctor.

How Many HPV Vaccine Doses Are Needed?

The number and timing of HPV vaccine doses depend on factors such as the person's age when the vaccination series begins, previous HPV vaccination, and certain medical circumstances.

Your doctor will recommend the appropriate vaccination schedule and advise when subsequent doses should be given.

Already started your HPV vaccination elsewhere? Bring any available vaccination records to your appointment so the doctor can review your previous doses and advise on the next step.

Do I Need an HPV Test Before Vaccination?

Routine HPV testing is generally not required simply to determine whether someone can receive an HPV vaccine. However, HPV vaccination does not replace recommended cervical screening or other appropriate medical assessments.

If you are concerned about possible HPV infection or require HPV testing, speak with your doctor about the appropriate screening or diagnostic service rather than relying on vaccination as a treatment.

HPV Vaccination for Women

HPV vaccination is an important preventive measure against HPV types associated with cervical cancer and other HPV-related diseases.

Women who have not previously completed HPV vaccination can discuss their vaccination history and eligibility with our Obstetrics and Gynecology team. HPV vaccination does not replace routine cervical screening when screening is recommended.

HPV Vaccination for Men

HPV does not only affect women. Certain HPV types are associated with genital warts and cancers that can affect men as well.

Men who have not previously been fully vaccinated can speak with a doctor about whether HPV vaccination is appropriate for their age and individual circumstances.

What to Expect at Your HPV Vaccination Appointment

During your appointment at DRHC, the healthcare team may review your age, medical history, previous HPV vaccination, current medications, allergies, and other relevant health information before vaccination.

If vaccination is appropriate, you will also be advised about any subsequent doses required and when they should be scheduled.

HPV Vaccination During Pregnancy or Breastfeeding

HPV vaccination is generally postponed during pregnancy. If you become pregnant after starting an HPV vaccination series, discuss the remaining doses with your doctor.
