HPV vaccine does not cause fertility problems (problems trying to get pregnant) in women or men. People who develop a cancer caused by HPV will need treatment that can sometimes limit their ability to have children, such as a hysterectomy (for women), chemotherapy, or radiation.
So, it is best to get HPV vaccine starting at 9 years old before your child is at increased risk for exposure to HPV. HPV vaccine prevents HPV infections that cause certain cancers if given before someone is exposed to HPV. So, talk to a healthcare provider about the benefits of getting an HPV vaccine if you or your child are not fully vaccinated already.
