Frequently asked questions
HPV Vaccination
Where can I get the HPV vaccine in Thame, Oxfordshire?

We provide a fast and accessible service for patients across Thame, Haddenham, Long Crendon, Chinnor, Aylesbury and surrounding Oxfordshire villages, offering appointments without the need to wait for GP availability.
What is the HPV vaccine and what does it protect against?
The HPV (human papillomavirus) vaccine helps protect against several high-risk strains of HPV that are linked to cervical cancer, anal cancer, and genital warts. The vaccine used, Gardasil 9®, covers the most common HPV types responsible for the majority of HPV-related cancers and is designed to reduce the risk of developing these conditions later in life
Who should have the HPV vaccine?
The HPV vaccine is suitable for individuals aged 9 years and above, including teenagers, young adults, and adults who have not previously been vaccinated. It is particularly beneficial for those who want protection before potential exposure to HPV, and eligibility is confirmed during a consultation to ensure the vaccine is appropriate and safe
How many doses of the HPV vaccine do I need?
The number of doses required depends on your age and health status. Most individuals under 25 require a single dose, while those aged 25 and over typically need two doses given several months apart. In certain cases, such as individuals with weakened immune systems, a three-dose schedule may be recommended to ensure adequate protection
Is the HPV vaccine available on the NHS?
The HPV vaccine is available on the NHS primarily for school-aged children and certain eligible groups, but many adults do not qualify. As a result, accessing a private HPV vaccine in Thame is often the quickest and most convenient option for those who want protection without delays.
Can adults get the HPV vaccine in Oxfordshire?
Yes, adults can receive the HPV vaccine in Oxfordshire, even if they were not vaccinated when younger. While the vaccine is most effective before exposure to HPV, it can still provide protection against strains you have not yet encountered, making it a valuable option for many adults.
Is the HPV vaccine safe?
The HPV vaccine has an excellent safety record and is widely used across the UK. Most side effects are mild and short-lived, such as soreness at the injection site, fatigue, or a mild headache. All patients are assessed before vaccination to ensure it is clinically appropriate and safe
Does the HPV vaccine treat existing HPV infections?
The HPV vaccine is designed to prevent infection and does not treat existing HPV infections or related conditions. If someone already has HPV, the vaccine will not clear the infection, but it can still protect against other high-risk strains covered by the vaccine
Do I still need cervical screening after the HPV vaccine?
Yes, it is still important to attend regular cervical screening appointments even after receiving the HPV vaccine. While the vaccine provides protection against the most common cancer-causing HPV types, it does not cover all strains, so routine screening remains an essential part of maintaining long-term health.

Booking your HPV vaccine in Thame, Oxford is simple and convenient. You can arrange an appointment online or contact Thame Pharmacy directly, with flexible availability for patients across Thame, Haddenham, Kingsey, Long Crendon, Tetsworth, Ickford and nearby areas.
