COMMUNITY: Frequently Asked Questions
Uterus1: Should the HPV vaccine be mandatory for girls and young women?
Dr. Joseph Talvacchia: I don’t think it should be mandatory. But when patients ask me a question on my opinion as to whether I recommend it and think they should get it, for the appropriate patients, I am telling them, yes I do recommend it. There doesn’t seem to be any real downside to it besides the cost. The appropriate patient is age nine to 26, ideally having not yet been exposed to HPV.
