HPV Vaccination Service
The HPV vaccine helps protect against cervical cancer, genital warts, and some other types of cancer for both women and men.
About the HPV Vaccination Service
At Carrigaline CarePlus Pharmacy, we are delighted to now offer a HPV Vaccination Service. We understand that some people may wish to consider vaccination against HPV, either for themselves or their children, who originally missed out when offered through school or they're outside the inclusion criteria for the HSE School Vaccination Programme.
How can I get the HPV Vaccine?
The HPV Vaccination Service is available privately for both men and women aged between 17 to 45, subject to eligibility criteria* at Carrigaline CarePlus Pharmacy. The service is offered by specially trained CarePlus Pharmacist vaccinators.
For people aged between 17 and 45 the HPV vaccine will require three vaccines to complete the vaccination course. The injection is usually administered at 0-, 2- and 6-month schedule and all doses must be given for the vaccination to be effective.
The price of each vaccination is €195 (excluding doctor's fee)

Vaccine Patient Information Leaflet or on HSE website by clicking
here.
Patients aged 17 to 44 require a course of three vaccinations. One on the first visit, the second after two months and the third six months after the first appointment.
It’s best to have the HPV vaccine before you become sexually active. You can also benefit from a HPV vaccine at an older age. This is because there are many varieties of the HPV virus, and the vaccine can protect you even if you’ve already been infected by some of them.
You are suitable to be vaccinated if you: :
• are between 17 and 45 years old
• haven't already completed the full course of the HPV vaccine
• aren’t pregnant
• haven’t had an allergic reaction to a vaccine before
• don’t have a high temperature on the day of your appointment
Common side effects of HPV vaccine can include:
• Pain, redness, or swelling in the arm where the injection was given
• Fever
• Headache or feeling tired
• Nausea
• Muscle or joint pain
• Dizziness
