HPV vaccine schedule

When discussing HPV vaccine doses, it's important to understand that the recommended schedule varies depending on the age at which the first dose is administered. Here's a breakdown based on information from the Centers for Disease :
 * For those who begin the series between ages 9 and 14:
   * A two-dose series is recommended.
   * The second dose should be given 6 to 12 months after the first dose.
 * For those who begin the series at age 15 or older:
   * A three-dose series is recommended.
   * The recommended schedule is 0, 1-2, and 6 months.
Key points to remember:
 * The HPV vaccine is recommended for adolescents and young adults to protect against HPV infections, which can lead to certain cancers.
 * It's always best to consult with a healthcare provider for personalized advice on HPV vaccination.
I hope this information is helpful.
