Human Papillomavirus (HPV) is a group of viruses, mainly spread through skin-to-skin sexual contact. About ~85% people will get it at some point in their lives, often without knowing, as early infection usually has no symptoms.
Anyone between 9 and 45 years of age can get the vaccine. The best time to get vaccinated is between 9 and 14 years old, when only 2 doses are needed for full protection.
HPV vaccine can help reduce the risk of HPV-related cancers and genital warts. You must take the vaccine, so your future is built on smart health choices you make today, at the right time.
HPV vaccine is very safe and well tolerated. Some people may experience mild side effects like redness, swelling where the shot was given, a mild headache or low-grade fever.
Studies have shown that HPV vaccines provide up to 98% protection against certain HPV-related cancers and diseases, depending on the specific type of vaccine used.
The vaccine won’t treat an existing HPV infection, but it can protect you from other high-risk HPV types you haven’t yet encountered. So even if you’ve been exposed to HPV, vaccination still lowers your risk of other HPV-related diseases.
No. Many HPV infections go away on their own but some high-risk types, like HPV 16 and 18, can cause cancers such as cervical, vaginal, vulvar, anal, and certain head and neck cancers.
Yes. At most, you may have been exposed to one or few types of HPV but not all. The vaccine can still protect you from additional high-risk types and reduce your future risk of cancer.
HPV vaccine is recommended for women up to 45 years of age, but it’s best to consult a doctor before getting vaccinated. Even if you believe you’ve been exposed to HPV before, the vaccine can still offer protection against other high-risk HPV types you may not have encountered yet.
HPV vaccine works best before you’re exposed to the virus, which is why it’s recommended up to age 45. After this age, many women may already have been exposed to HPV, so the benefit of vaccination is lower.
HPV often does not present with any symptoms. However, when symptoms do occur, they may show up as genital warts or abnormal changes detected in cervical smear tests.
Getting the HPV vaccine before you turn 15 helps your body build much stronger protection- about twice as strong compared to getting it after 15. That’s why HPV vaccination is recommended for girls aged 9 and older.
The HPV vaccine isn’t recommended during pregnancy, If you’ve already started the doses, you can safely pause and continue the remaining ones after your delivery.
Studies suggest that HPV vaccination does not cause infertility.
Shingles is a painful, itchy skin rash that occurs when the varicella zoster virus, the same virus responsible for chickenpox becomes active again later in life due to weakened immune system.
Shingles is not contagious, but the virus can be spread to someone who has never had chickenpox. This will cause chickenpox, not shingles.
All adults 50 and older, or those 18 and up with weak immune systems (like from diabetes, COPD, asthma, cancer, heart disease, transplants, or HIV) should get the shingles vaccine.
Shingles vaccine is given in 2 doses, where the 2nd dose is given 2 to 6 months after the 1st.
No, having had chickenpox doesn’t mean you’re immune. The virus stays in your body and activates later in life as shingles.
Yes. Even if you feel healthy, your immune system naturally weakens with age, increasing your risk of shingles sharply after 50. If you’re among the 99% of adults over 50 who have had chickenpox, the varicella zoster virus remains dormant in your body and can reactivate at any time, causing shingles.
The vaccine protection stays strong for at least 10 years and may last a lifetime, with no booster needed so far.
Shingles vaccine was proven to be over 90% effective in preventing shingles in adults aged 50 and above compared to those who didn’t get the vaccine. It not only lowers your risk of getting shingles by over 90% but also helps prevent long-lasting nerve pain and other complications even if you get shingles.
Shingles vaccine is very safe and generally well tolerated. Some people may experience mild side effects like redness, swelling where the shot was given, a mild headache, fatigue or low-grade fever for ~1-2 days.
Shingles after the vaccine is rare, but if it happens, it’s usually milder, shorter, and highly unlikely to cause long-term nerve pain and other severe complications.
Yes. You can get shingles more than once, and the vaccine reduces recurrence risk as well. You can take the vaccine after fully recovering- usually after a few weeks.
Shingles vaccine is recommended for people with weakened immunity but should always be discussed with a doctor first. For Life can help arrange a doctor consultation either on a call or at a clinic near you so you can get personalized advice based on your health and risk profile.
One dose of the flu vaccine is recommended each year before the flu season starts.
Pregnant women should especially get the flu vaccine since their immune systems are weaker than usual. The inactivated flu vaccine is safe at any stage of pregnancy.
No, the flu vaccine does not protect against all flu strains, but it is designed to protect against the 4 most common and dangerous strains expected to circulate each season, as recommended by the World Health Organization (WHO).
Breastfeeding women can also safely receive the flu vaccine as it benefits the mother’s health and also provides some protection to the infant through antibodies passed in breast milk.
Though side-effects from flu vaccine are quite uncommon. Some people after the shot may experience soreness or swelling where the shot was given, mild body aches, dizziness or fatigue for a day or two.
You can get it year-round though the best time to get protected is before the flu starts to spread which starts from October.
Pneumonia, a type of pneumococcal disease is a lung infection that causes the tiny air sacs in your lungs to fill with fluid or pus, making it difficult to breathe and for oxygen to reach your blood. It usually causes cough, fever, chills, and shortness of breath.
Pneumococcal disease refers to the infections caused by the bacteria Streptococcus pneumoniae. It can lead to illnesses like mild ear or sinus infections to serious and life-threatening conditions like pneumonia, meningitis, or sepsis.
After primary vaccination, pneumococcal vaccine is recommended for all adults aged 65 and above, as well as for adults 18 and older who are heavy smokers and have health conditions that weaken immunity or increase the risk of severe infections (such as diabetes, chronic kidney, heart or liver disease, HIV, cancer, or no spleen).
Most adults need one or two doses, depending on their age, health condition, and risk factors. Some individuals with compromised immune system may need revaccination. Our partner doctors can advise on the right schedule for you based on your individual health needs.
The vaccine protects against severe illnesses like pneumonia, meningitis, sepsis, lung infections, sinusitis, bronchitis and middle ear infection.
Flu is caused by influenza viruses, and pneumonia/pneumococcal infection by bacteria.
The vaccine is highly effective, offering up to 80% protection against serious pneumococcal diseases while also reducing severe infections and hospitalizations by 60-70%.
Most people only need to get one or two doses of the vaccine, and it lasts for a lifetime. High-risk groups, such as older adults or immunocompromised individuals, may need additional booster doses.
There are two main pneumococcal vaccines for adults in India:
PCV13 (13-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine) protects against 13 important types of bacteria that can cause serious pneumonia and related infections. This vaccine gives strong and long-lasting protection for most people.
PPSV23 (23-valent pneumococcal polysaccharide vaccine) covers 23 types of bacteria, including those in PCV13 plus several more. It offers extra protection, especially for older adults or those with health conditions, but the protection may not last as long as PCV13.
Both the vaccines are effective and have their own use-cases. Our partner doctors can advise what’s best for your needs.
Though severe side-effects from the vaccine are quite uncommon. Some people after the shot may experience soreness or swelling where the shot was given, mild fever, body aches, dizziness or fatigue for a day or two.
