  • Ages 18-26: Recommended for everyone that is not adequately vaccinated when younger
  • Ages 27-45: Consider discussing vaccination with those that are most likely to benefit based on shared clinical decision-making
    • Vaccination prevents new HPV infections but does not treat existing HPV infections or diseases
    • Most sexually active adults have already been exposed to HPV, although not necessarily all the HPV types targeted by vaccination
    • At any age, having a new sexual partner is a risk factor for acquiring a new HPV infection

    • Whether or not a prior episode of herpes zoster is reported
