You may have heard about HPV, aka <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">human papillomavirus<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, as it is one of the most common sexually transmitted diseases. Like other vaccines, it works by stimulating the body to mass produce antibodies to fight off the virus. That being said, vaccinating your child against a sexually transmitted disease at this age may seem premature. Learn what government officials say about such preventative measures.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">According to the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), the HPV vaccine is recommended for both boys and girls ages 11-12 years. If you\u2019ve missed the ideal age, the vaccine can be administered up to age 26, although the dosing will be different. For the 11-12\u2013year range, there should be two doses administered 6-12 months apart. Children may be vaccinated as early as 9 years old, but consult your pediatrician first.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><strong>Cancer prevention<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The HPV vaccine is more than a stop-gap to STDs, though. <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Human papillomavirus<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is one of the biggest propagators of many cancers, including cervical, anal, penile, vulvar, vaginal and even throat and oral. If your family has a history of any of these cancers, it\u2019s important to consider vaccinating your child. Not all HPV infections lead to cancer, but the risk makes a strong argument. In fact, the vaccine may prevent up to 90% of cancers specific to HPV.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The only people the CDC recommends not receive the vaccine are those who have an allergy to one of the vaccine\u2019s ingredients, are allergic to yeast, or who have an already suppressed immune system due to illness or treatments such as chemotherapy. Females who are pregnant should also avoid this vaccine.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With its usually mild side effects, it is recommended by the CDC as well as many physicians that all children receive the HPV vaccine. If you have any questions about HPV or its vaccine, talk with your child\u2019s pediatrician for more information or visit the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cdc.gov\/vaccines\/vpd\/hpv\/public\/index.html\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">CDC website<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> for a listing of common questions\/answers surrounding the vaccine.<\/span><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Are you wondering if your child should get the HPV vaccine?
