Page 8: Preventive health care for women ppt

Immunizations

Yearly influenza vaccine – everyone aged 6 months and up

HPV vaccine – age 9 up to age 26; the CDC recommends that all 11 or 12 year old girls get the 3 doses (shots) of either brand of HPV vaccine to protect against cervical cancer. Gardasil also protects against most genital warts, as well as some cancers of the vulva, vagina and anus. Girls and young women ages 13 through 26 should get HPV vaccine if they have not received any or all doses when they were younger.

Pap Test

Page 18: Preventive health care for women ppt

Pelvic Exam and Pap Test Pap Smears should be done once every 2 - 3 years. Pelvic exams may be done more often to check for

other disorders. If your Pap smears have been normal three times

in a row, your health provider may tell you that you only need a Pap smear once every 3 years.

Women who have had a total hysterectomy (uterus and cervix removed) may opt not to have Pap smears.

Women who are sexually active should be checked for chlamydia infection. This can be done during a pelvic exam.
