A member asked:

I have only ever had 2 of 3 cervical cancer injections (hpv vaccinations) is this ok?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Unpredictable : You likely have some protective antibody that may last for a while. However, the research on long term (decades)of protective antibodies were based on the full series. You can get the last dose at any point for long term benefit, as long as it is at least 6 months after the first.
