HPV vaccine is usually thought to be safe only for young girls in the age group of 9 and 12. However, HPV vaccine was found to protect adult women from cervical cancer.
Combining Traditional Education With Incentives can Help Improve HPV Vaccination Rates
A new study reveals that combining traditional education with quality improvement and incentives can help improve Human Papilloma virus vaccination rates.

‘HPV immunization programs mainly target girls who are in the age group of 9 and 12 and adult women through catch-up programs.’
The authors did report an increased risk of developing celiac disease an autoimmune condition triggered by dietary gluten; however, the increased risk was only observed in Denmark. Because previous research has shown that celiac disease is markedly underdiagnosed in the general adult population in Denmark.
The findings may be due to unmasking of pre-existing celiac disease. No other serious safety concerns were found.
Non-completion of HPV Vaccination in Girls in Low-income Families
Although they are at higher risk for cervical cancer, girls from low-income families are less likely to receive the human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine that prevents

"This is the most comprehensive study of HPV vaccination safety in adult women to date. It is not unreasonable to expect different safety concerns in adult women compared with young girls, and our study is an important supplement to the safety studies in young girls," said lead author Dr. Anders Hviid, of the Statens Serum Institut, in Denmark.
