Should My Daughter Get the HPV Vaccine?

Short answer: Yes.
Long answer: Yes — and here’s why.

At Be. Women’s Health in Frisco, TX, we strongly recommend the HPV vaccine because it prevents the most common strains of HPV that cause cervical cancer, genital warts, and several other cancers.

Why the HPV vaccine matters:

✔ Protects against ~90% of cervical cancer
✔ Most effective before sexual activity begins
✔ Safe, well-studied, and recommended worldwide
✔ Helps boys and girls (but we focus here on girls)
✔ Long-lasting protection

Ideal timing:

Ages 11–12, but it can be given anytime between ages 9–26.

Safety facts:

• Over 135 million doses given in the U.S.
• Common side effects: sore arm, mild fever
• No effect on fertility
• No impact on sexual behavior

Getting vaccinated early sets your daughter up for lifelong protection.
