HPV Vaccination: Essential Protection Against a Common Virus
Understanding HPV
Human Papillomavirus is exceptionally prevalent—approximately 80% of sexually active individuals will contract this virus during their lifetime. There are numerous types of HPV which can cause different health conditions affecting both males and females, including:
- Cancer
- Pre-cancerous conditions in the cervix, anus, vulva or vagina
- Genital warts
HPV-related cancer ranks as the third most common cancer affecting women aged 25-49 in the UK, highlighting the critical importance of preventative vaccination.
Professional Vaccination Services
While not everyone qualifies for free HPV vaccinations through schools and GP surgeries, our clinic offers convenient and professional access to this essential protection.
Age Requirements and Dosage
The advanced vaccine can be administered to individuals aged 9 and above. The number of doses varies based on age, gender and the vaccination schedule (typically spanning 6 months).
Investment in Protection
New vaccine (9 types): £245 per dose – This newly developed and approved vaccine offers enhanced protection against multiple strains of the virus, providing comprehensive coverage against the most dangerous variants.
Transmission Understanding
How the Virus Spreads
HPV transmits primarily through sexual contact but can also be transferred from mother to child during birth.

- Professional vaccination

- Vigilant awareness of any changes or unusual symptoms in the genital area
