A member asked:
Can you get gardasil 9 vaccine at 32yrs? if you havent been exposed to the hpv viruses that the vaccine protects against, it will still work?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: At a listed age of 31, you are beyond the approved age (9-26) where insurers would cover it. You could benefit from the protection provided by the newer 9 strain Gardasil that cover for any strains you have not been exposed to.The vaccine doesn't treat or help with existing HPV infections. You might be able to find a provider to give it at your own expense, but it is costly.
