I am 23 years old and would like to receive Cervavac injection. Can I get this vaccine at my age? What is the correct dosage, and is it still effective if I have already been sexually active?
Yes, you can receive the Cervavac injection (human papillomavirus quadrivalent vaccine, recombinant) at 23 years of age, as it is recommended for females up to 26 years and sometimes older, depending on risk. The usual schedule is three doses over six months, typically at 0, 2 and 6 months, although your doctor may adjust this slightly. Even if you have already been sexually active, the vaccine can still protect you against HPV types you have not yet been exposed to, so it remains beneficial. It is best to consult a doctor to confirm suitability and ensure you follow the correct dosing schedule.
