HPV is a very common virus which usually has no symptoms. More than 70% of people who haven’t had the HPV vaccine will get HPV at some point in their life.

Most people who become infected with HPV clear the virus from their body, but others may develop a range of cancers in later life caused by the HPV virus.

Having the vaccine is important because we can't predict who will develop cancer or genital warts.

Getting the vaccine now protects you against future risks.
