Human Papillomavirus vaccine

According to the National Institute of Health, human papillomavirus (HPV) is the most common sexually transmitted disease, with approximately 20 million Americans infected, and six million new infections each year. The HPV vaccine is a series of three shots given to females age 11–12 years. The second dose should be administered two months after the first dose and the third dose six months after the first dose. The HPV vaccine series may be given to females at age 13–18 years if not previously vaccinated.
