“HPV Vaccine - unsure if previously vaccinated?”
I want to get the HPV vaccine, but I am unsure if I was previously vaccinated when I was younger. I am 99% sure I did not receive the vaccine and have been unsuccessful in finding medical records. Would getting the HPV vaccine twice be harmful?

It would not to answer your question shortly. But what can be done is an HPV antibody titer to see if you have protective immunity from a previous vaccination. If you do, then you don’t need to be vaccinated, if you don’t then I would highly recommend it. Thank you for asking me, and I wish you nothing but health wellness and happiness.
