Is HPV vaccine recommended for women over 35?

Ans: While the HPV vaccine is most effective when given at a younger age (between 11 and 26), it is still considered beneficial for women over 35, but a discussion with a healthcare provider is recommended to assess individual risk factors and decide if vaccination is appropriate; for women between 27 and 45, the decision to vaccinate should be based on individual risk factors and should be discussed with a healthcare professional.
Factors to consider:
If you are in a new relationship, have multiple partners, or have recently been diagnosed with a sexually transmitted infection, getting the vaccine could be beneficial even at an older age.
