This report updates the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices’ (ACIP) recommendation for human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccination to include the 9-valent HPV vaccine (9vHPV) as 1 of 3 available for routine vaccination, along with the 2-valent and 4-valent HPV vaccines. 9vHPV offers protection against 9 different types of HPV.

ACIP recommends:

  • 9vHPV, 4vHPV, or 2vHPV for routine vaccination of females age 11 or 12 years and females through age 26 years who haven’t been vaccinated previously, or who haven’t completed the 3-dose series
  • 9vHPV or 4vHPV for routine vaccination of males age 11 or 12 years and males through age 21 years who haven’t been vaccinated previously, or who haven’t completed the 3-dose series
  • 9vHPV or 4vHPV to vaccinate men who have sex with men and immunocompromised people (including those with HIV infection) through age 26 years, if not vaccinated previously
