Is the HPV vaccine included among the offered immunizations?

HPV vaccine is included among offered immunizations. It protects against human papillomavirus types that can lead to cervical and other cancers as well as genital warts. It’s routinely given to preteens around 11–12 years old, with catch-up vaccination for those who weren’t immunized earlier; guidelines also support vaccination for adults up to 26, and in some cases, shared decision-making for ages 27–45. In a Kroger pharmacy, HPV vaccination is typically available to eligible patients, depending on state law and the store’s vaccination scope. If the patient is eligible and provides consent, the vaccine can be given following the dosing schedule (two doses if started before age 15, otherwise three doses).
