Hello, i am a 22 year old female, and sexually active. i just wanted to ask what vaccinations/checks/procedures should i have gotten by now or should be getting at this age? also, who are the appropriate specialists to contact for each procedure?

HPV and hepatitis B: If in the US or most other industrialized countries, probably you were vaccinated in childhood against hepaitis B. Hman papllomavirus (HPV) vaccine is recommended but often not done. Check your health records, your childhood doctor(s) offices, or your parents. No other vaccines are needed on account of being sexually active. l If uncertain, have both. Any doctor can give either vaccine.

Primary care: You need to establish with a family doc or internal medicine who can further coordinate. Have all records from your pediatrician sent to your primary care doc. A reliable site is uspreventiveservicestaskforce.org or uspstf.org to check for recommended preventive measures. Based on your age you should have screening for cervical cancer and take folic acid supplements among others.
