Drs reply saying that cervarix is given to females up to 26yrs old, does that mean the shot i got is useless since i'm 29?? shall i continue?? hpv16
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No, your ok: The group in the study had an age that only went up to 26yo, so it was approved for the age group of the study participants. You should still benefit from it. Best wishes.
