Human papillomavirus (HPV) is one of the most common sexually transmitted infections in Canada. Most people who are sexually active will encounter HPV at some point in their lives — often without knowing it, since many infections have no symptoms. Some strains clear on their own, but others can lead to cervical, anal, vaginal, vulvar, penile, and throat cancers, as well as genital warts.

​

The good news: HPV is largely preventable. Our clinic provides professional HPV vaccine injection administration and consultation services.

About GARDASIL®9

​

GARDASIL®9 is a 9-valent HPV vaccine that protects against nine strains of HPV, including the types responsible for the majority of HPV-related cancers and genital warts.

​

If you are not covered by a publicly funded program, please call us before booking. We do not routinely keep HPV vaccine stock onsite for private-pay patients, but we can help confirm the next steps for your injection appointment.

​

GARDASIL®9 is approved for use in both males and females aged 9 to 45. It is typically given as a 2- or 3-dose series depending on your age at the time of the first dose:

​

• Ages 9–14: 2 doses, given 6–12 months apart

• Ages 15–45: 3 doses, given over 6 months

​

Already sexually active? You can still benefit from the vaccine. While it won’t treat an existing infection, it may help protect you against HPV strains you haven’t been exposed to yet.

​

Who Should Get Vaccinated?

​

HPV vaccination is recommended for:

​

• Adolescents and young adults — ideally before the onset of sexual activity, but beneficial at any stage

• Adults up to age 45 who were not previously vaccinated or did not complete their series

• Anyone looking to reduce their risk of HPV-related cancers and conditions

​

If you're unsure whether vaccination is right for you, our team can review your history and help you understand your options.

​

Coverage and Cost

​

Ontario publicly funded program: In Ontario, students receive the HPV vaccine free of charge through the school-based immunization program in Grade 7. Catch-up doses are available at no cost through the end of Grade 12.

​​

Additional public coverage is available for eligible individuals — including certain men who have sex with men and some trans individuals — under Ontario's High-Risk HPV Immunization Program. Ask us whether you qualify.

​

For patients who are not eligible for publicly funded HPV vaccine, the vaccine may need to be purchased through a pharmacy or another vaccine provider. We can provide injection administration once the vaccine source and appointment details are confirmed. Call us at (437) 848-0310 to ask about injection administration fees before your visit.

​

Many private insurance plans may cover HPV vaccination. We recommend checking your plan in advance. We’re happy to provide documentation for your visit when applicable.

​

What to Expect at Your Visit

​

Your appointment will include a brief consultation to review your vaccination history and confirm the appropriate dose schedule. The injection itself takes only a few minutes. You'll be asked to wait briefly afterward to make sure you feel well.

​

If you're completing a multi-dose series, we'll help you track your next dose timing and send reminders as needed.
