Many adults, both men and women, may never have had a HPV vaccine. These adults could still benefit from

HPV vaccination now because:

       HPV infection can be acquired in adulthood.5-7

       A previous HPV infection may not provide protection against future HPV infections8-12

-          Infection with the same HPV type can occur again8-11

-          Infection with one HPV type does not protect against infection with other HPV types10,12
