I have got 3 dose schedual vaccine for hpv .. can i get the virus after the second dose ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Understand limits: There are at least 3 HPV vaccines. One covers 2 strains associated with cancer,another 2+2 strains associated with genital warts, another 2 wart & 7 cancer strains. It takes any vaccine weeks to generate protective antibodies & these antibodies are only to the strains in the vaccine.There are dozens of HPV strains & you may be at risk for strains not in the vaccines or if exposed before effective
