The HPV vaccine, crucial in preventing cancers linked to human papillomavirus, shows an impressive 80% reduction in precancer cases since its 2006 introduction. While ideally given to children aged 11 or 12, adults who missed the vaccine can still receive it, as it remains effective. The CDC encourages vaccination up to age 26, while those aged 27 to 45 can inquire with healthcare providers about its benefits. Increased awareness is vital as HPV is common among sexually active individuals and poses significant cancer risks.
