HPV Vaccine
The HPV vaccine (Gardasil9) helps protect against the types of human papillomavirus most commonly linked to genital warts and certain cancers, including cervical, anal, throat and penile cancer. We offer it privately for adults aged 18–45.
What is the HPV vaccine?
Gardasil9 helps protect against nine strains of HPV — the virus responsible for most cases of genital warts and a significant proportion of cervical, anal, throat and penile cancers. It's suitable for both men and women, and offers the greatest benefit before exposure to HPV, though many adults can still gain valuable protection later in life.
Who should consider this vaccine?
- Adults aged 18–45 who did not complete the HPV vaccine course at school
- Anyone wanting protection against HPV-related cancers and genital warts
- Both men and women — HPV vaccination isn't only for women
- Anyone entering new relationships or wanting protection before further exposure to HPV
NHS eligibility for HPV vaccination depends on age and other factors. We offer it privately for adults aged 18–45 who are outside NHS criteria or who'd prefer to book directly, without a GP referral.
Doses & schedule
Most adults need a 2-dose course, with the second dose given around 6 months after the first, in line with UK Green Book guidance. If you're immunocompromised, a 3-dose course is recommended for optimal protection. Your clinician will confirm the right schedule for you at your appointment.
