Cervical Cancer Vaccine

Cervical cancer is one of the leading causes of cancer-related deaths in women, but it is largely preventable with timely vaccination. The **Cervical Cancer Vaccine** protects against the Human Papillomavirus (HPV) — the main cause of cervical cancer, genital warts, and certain other cancers. Dr. Shrutika Gavhale provides safe and effective cervical cancer vaccination for girls, women, and young adults, offering protection at the right age for long-term health benefits.

Why is the Cervical Cancer Vaccine Important?

A preventive step towards women’s health and cancer protection.

• 🌸 Protects against HPV strains responsible for most cervical cancers
• 🌸 Prevents genital warts and reduces risk of anal, vulvar, and vaginal cancers
• 🌸 Works best when given before sexual exposure
• 🌸 Provides long-lasting immunity and protection
• 🌸 Reduces the need for invasive treatments later in life

Regular PAP Smear screening is still recommended along with vaccination.

Who Should Get the Vaccine?

Recommended by gynecologists and global health authorities.

• 🌺 Girls & boys between ages **9–14 years** (best age group)
• 🌺 Women up to **26 years** if not previously vaccinated
• 🌺 Adults up to **45 years** can also benefit after doctor’s advice
• 🌺 Especially important for women with risk factors (family history, multiple pregnancies, smoking, weakened immunity)

The vaccine is most effective when given before the onset of sexual activity.

How is the Vaccine Given?

Simple, safe, and effective vaccination schedule.

• ✅ Given as an injection in the arm
• ✅ Two doses (6 months apart) for ages 9–14
• ✅ Three doses (0, 1–2, and 6 months) for ages 15–26
• ✅ Minimal side effects — usually mild pain, swelling, or fever

Dr. Shrutika Gavhale ensures counselling, safe administration, and follow-up for complete protection.
