HPV Vaccine in Great Barr
💉 HPV Vaccine in Great Barr, Birmingham
The Human Papillomavirus (HPV) is a common virus that can cause genital warts and is linked to several types of cancer — most notably cervical cancer. Vaccination offers safe and effective protection, and is most beneficial when given before exposure to the virus.
At Beacon Pharmacy in Great Barr, we offer private HPV vaccinations for teens and adults of all genders. Whether you missed it at school or want additional protection, we’re here to help.
🦠 What is HPV and Why Does It Matter?
- ✅ Cervical cancer
- ✅ Anal, penile, and throat cancers
- ✅ Genital warts
- ✅ Recurring respiratory conditions
There’s no treatment for HPV itself, but vaccination can prevent up to 90% of HPV-related cancers.
👥 Who Should Get the HPV Vaccine?
The HPV vaccine is recommended for:
- ✅ Girls and boys aged 12–13 (typically offered in schools)
- ✅ Teens and young adults aged 14–25 who missed the school vaccination
- ✅ Adults up to age 45, especially those with new or multiple partners
- ✅ Anyone wanting added protection against HPV-related disease
If you’re unsure, we’ll advise whether it’s suitable based on your age and medical history.
