HI, I Have Had Two Shots Of The HPV Vaccine
Question: HI, I have had two shots of the HPV vaccine of 0.5ml dosage and am wondering if that is enough to prevent HPV or if I need to get the third shot, there has been some years past since i got the vaccine. Just curious if I should get the third shot or if 2 is sufficient?
Brief Answer:
It depends
Detailed Answer:
Dear Ma’am, I have gone through your question and I understand your concerns but effectiveness depend on the interval between the two doses , if as short as two months then it is better to take the third dose but if as long as six months then doses should be enough. I hope you find this helpful. if you don’t have any other clarifications then please close the discussion
