A member asked:
Would like to inquire if hpv vaccine is safe for my 17 yr old sister? would you recommend it? my company is offering discounted price for relatives. t

HPV vaccine: HPV is very common and is sexually transmitted, so the vaccine is certainly helpful. if your sister has not been sexually active it is certainly advisable, and will not be harmful. The vaccine is generally recommended to be most beneficial statistically if given before sexual activity begins. HPV is a cause of cervical cancer in some individuals.
