HPV vaccination can be given between 9-26 years of age ,ideally should be given before commencement of sexual activity. But can be given after commencement of sexual activity also HPV infection is sexualy transmitted. HPV infection isthe main cause of cervical cancer, vaccination prevents HPV infection thus prevents cervical cancer.
