Can you go for the hpv vaccination after you have become sexually active?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes indeed!: As you seem to know, the HPV vaccine is most effective when given before young people become sexually active. However, at age 22 it is unlikely you have been infected with most of the HPV types prevented by the vaccine; all sexually active people below age 26 should be immunized. Congratluations for considering it. Now follow through and see your doctor about vaccination. Good luck!
