A member asked:
Can you still get the hpv vaccine after age 26 in united states? turning 26 sunday....
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes,but: You may actually benefit from the vaccine at any age beyond childhood.However, the 20+years it took to develop the vaccine and the rigorous standards it had to meet before approval meant a significant development cost goes into each dose. Many insurance carriers will only cover the cost if given during the specified ages that are part of the fda approval ( up to 26). Check before you ask for it.
