What is the HPV Vaccine?
The HPV vaccine protects against human papillomavirus, the most common sexually transmitted infection. HPV can cause cervical, vaginal, vulvar, anal, penile, and oropharyngeal cancers, as well as genital warts.
The vaccine works by stimulating your immune system to produce antibodies against HPV types 16 and 18, which cause about 70% of cervical cancers. It also protects against HPV types 6 and 11, which cause about 90% of genital warts.
