Can a 30-yr old female benefit from hpv vaccination?


Can a 30-yr old female benefit from hpv vaccination?

I work in labor and delivery, and one of the OBs I work with said he thinks everyone should get it. HPV is very common, and this vaccine protects against 4 different types of the virus.

Unfortunately, at this time, he also tells me that insurance is only covering this vaccine for women under age 26. It's estimated to cost from $360-$500. Really, a small price to pay to avoid cervical cancer.
yes, if you don't already have HPV.
yes
Good question. Maybe most 30 yrs olds have already been exposed?
Yes, if she doesn't already have the strains of hpv the vaccine protects against.
