Girls and young women aged 9-14 years are advised to develop anti-human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine that may later cause cervical cancer. If the vaccination has not yet reached the age of 12, it should be made up as soon as possible until the age of 18 at the latest.
Some vaccinations have to be refreshed in adolescence - between the ages of 12 and 17 - to ensure that the best protection against the disease remains. A common combination vaccination for adolescents is the 4-fold vaccination to refresh the vaccine against tetanus (tetanus), diphtheria, polio (poliomyelitis) and whooping cough (pertussis).
