A member asked:

Can the cervical cancer vaccine decrease the chance of contraceptive injection being effective?

3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers

No: The cervical cancer vaccines are not related to hormone injections for contraception. One can get both injections, usually on separate arms, at one doctor's visit.
