HPV vaccine: Hpv vaccine induces protection from hpv (human papilloma virus) which causes genital warts. The hpv also increases one's risk of contracting genital, rectal, head and neck cancers. An added bonus of the vaccine is protection from such risks. Side effects are insignificant and the vaccine is administered in 3 injections - 0, 2 and 6 months.
