Still works if late: Research shows if the second and/or third doses are given later than planned, the body still responds very well to the vaccine and makes high levels of antibodies which protect against HPV infection. So she should get the vaccine as soon as it is available. Best wishes!

How common is cervical cancer if you missed screenings for past several years? I heard HPV usually clears but can re-emerge. I am getting one scheduled. Lack of insurance has been a issue in past.
