A member asked:
What does cervical cancer vaccination do for me at age 24?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
HPV: Hpv vaccine blocks types 16 and 18 which cause cervical cancer. Vaccine is still good until age 26. If you have already had sex, the vaccine may have decreased effectiveness, but does not eliminate you from getting the vaccine if you want.
