HPV vaccination appears to be both safe and effective in adults 27-45 years of age. While the public health impact of routine HPV vaccination of adults would be small, some high-risk individuals could benefit significantly. James W. Mold, MD, MPH

Abstract

Summary

What is already known about this topic?

Vaccination against human papillomavirus (HPV) is routinely recommended at age 11 or 12 years. Catch-up recommendations apply to persons not vaccinated at age 11 or 12 years.

What is added by this report?

After reviewing new evidence, CDC updated HPV vaccination recommendations for U.S. adults.

What are the implications for public health practice?

Routine recommendations for HPV vaccination of adolescents have not changed. Catch-up HPV vaccination is now recommended for all persons through age 26 years. For adults aged 27 through 45 years, public health benefit of HPV vaccination in this age range is minimal; shared clinical decision-making is recommended because some persons who are not adequately vaccinated might benefit.
