The HPV vaccine is a safe and effective way to protect against the human papillomavirus, a common virus that can lead to certain cancers and genital warts. At Norbury Pharmacy, we offer the HPV vaccine in Norbury for those who want safe and reliable protection against the virus.

Whether you missed the vaccine during school or want to catch up as an adult, our team is here to help. We provide expert advice and professional support in a private and welcoming setting.

What is HPV?

HPV stands for human papillomavirus. It is a very common virus that spreads through close skin-to-skin contact, often during sexual activity. Most people will get an HPV infection at some point in their lives without knowing it, as it often causes no symptoms and goes away on its own.

However, in some cases, certain strains of HPV can lead to:

  • Cervical, throat, or anal cancer
  • Genital warts
  • Other health issues related to long-lasting HPV infection

Who Needs the DTP Vaccination?

You may need the DTP vaccine if:

  • You missed one or more doses as a child.
  • You are over 14 and need a teenage booster.
  • You are planning to travel to a country where polio is still a risk.
  • You are working in certain jobs or settings where tetanus exposure is more likely.
  • You have had a deep wound or injury and need tetanus protection.

At Norbury Pharmacy, our immunisation experts will assess your vaccination history and guide you on whether you need the tetanus-diphtheria-polio vaccine in Norbury.

HPV Virus Symptoms and Wart Types

Most people with HPV do not show any signs of infection. When symptoms do appear, they often depend on the type of HPV.

There are over 100 types of HPV, but some low‑risk strains can cause warts. The most common include:

  • Small growths or lumps around the genital or anal area (genital warts)
  • Flat or raised warts on the hands, feet, or other areas of skin
  • Itching or mild discomfort, particularly when genital warts are present

Even if you do not have visible symptoms, the virus can still be passed on to others. That is why HPV prevention through vaccination is so important

Why Choose the HPV Vaccine?

The human papillomavirus vaccine helps your body build protection before you are exposed to the virus. It is most effective when given at a younger age, but adults can also benefit.

We recommend the vaccine for:

  • Boys and girls from age 12 onwards
  • Anyone who missed their school-based vaccine
  • Adults up to age 45 who may be at risk
  • People with a weakened immune system

If you are unsure whether you need the vaccine, our team will be happy to guide you.
