How it works

A 15-minute consultation with a GPhC-registered pharmacist. Supplied under a Patient Group Direction — the same medicine a GP would prescribe.

Age, allergy history, pregnancy, and whether you’ve had any HPV doses before.

02
Your first dose

Given in the upper arm in our consultation room. You’ll sit with us for a few minutes afterwards.

03
Book the rest of the course

Two doses (ages 9–14) or three doses (15 and over) — we’ll schedule them for you.

Frequently asked

Who is it for?

Girls and boys from 9, adults of any age. The NHS offers it in school (Year 8) and to men who have sex with men up to 45 — everyone else, including adults who missed it, can have it privately.

Is it worth it as an adult?

Yes. Even if you’ve been exposed to some HPV types, the vaccine still protects against the others, and the cancers it prevents can take decades to develop.

Side effects?

A sore arm, sometimes a mild headache or feeling faint for a few minutes afterwards. Serious reactions are very rare.
