Adolescent Vaccination Recommendation: Routine administration is recommended for females and males between 11-12 years of age, but the vaccine series may be started at 9 years old. Vaccination is also recommended for females age 13-26 years and males age 13-21 years, who have not been vaccinated, or have not yet completed the series. As of October 2016, CDC recommends 11- to 12-year olds get two doses of HPV vaccine—rather than the previously recommended three doses—to protect against cancers caused by HPV. The second dose should be given 6-12 months after the first dose. View additional information on current CDC recommendations. About Human Papillomavirus
