Scheduled dosing: HPV can be given from 9 yrs through 26 years. Preferred 11 - 12. catch up 13 - 18 years. Traditional schedule of 0, 1-2, and 6 months . Catch up doses can be determined with the help of your doctor. Specific risk groups may benefit from early vaccination; 9yrs or > and extended through 19 through 26 year if not previously immunized . Take care.

No: It is a series of 3 doses given within 6 months.That completes the series. At some point in years to come there may be a need for a booster, but for now, that is not the case.
