Private Gardasil 9 vaccination for men and women aged 9–45+. Same-day appointments available at our South East London clinics. No GP referral needed.
Human papillomavirus (HPV) is one of the most common sexually transmitted infections globally. Over 70% of sexually active people will contract HPV at some point in their lives.
Most HPV infections clear naturally without symptoms. But for some people, persistent HPV infection can lead to serious health consequences years or even decades later.
HPV spreads through skin-to-skin contact, including sexual activity. Because most people with HPV show no symptoms, it transmits easily without anyone realising.
The good news: vaccination provides strong protection against the HPV types most likely to cause cancer and genital warts.
Gardasil 9 is the HPV vaccine used by REY London Pharmacy. It’s the most advanced HPV vaccine available, protecting against nine HPV types:
High-Risk Types (Cancer-Causing): HPV 16, 18, 31, 33, 45, 52, and 58
Low-Risk Types (Genital Warts): HPV 6 and 11
Together, these nine types are responsible for:
Clinical trials show Gardasil 9 is nearly 100% effective at preventing infections and pre-cancers caused by the HPV types it targets when given before exposure.
The HPV vaccine provides the most benefit when given before exposure. However, even if you're sexually active, you can still benefit from vaccination.
The NHS recommends HPV vaccination for children aged 12–13 (school year 8). Private vaccination is available for children ages 9+ who missed school vaccination or whose parents prefer private service.
If you missed vaccination at school or moved to the UK from overseas, you can catch up privately. Protection remains highly effective even if you're already sexually active.
Adults who haven't been vaccinated can still benefit. The vaccine protects against HPV types you haven't been exposed to, even if you've had one or more sexual partners.
The number of doses depends on your age when you receive your first vaccination and your current immune system status.
Two doses are recommended for adults starting their HPV vaccination course at 25 or older.
If you are immunosuppressed or living with HIV, three doses are required regardless of age.
HPV vaccination is one of the most effective cancer prevention tools available. Here's what protection against nine HPV types means for your long-term health.
HPV types 16 and 18 cause 70% of cervical cancers. Adding types 31, 33, 45, 52, and 58 brings protection to 90%. Vaccination has already dramatically reduced cervical cancer rates.
HPV causes the majority of anal cancers in both men and women. Gardasil 9 provides comprehensive protection against the HPV types most likely to cause these cancers.
HPV is increasingly recognised as a cause of cancers of the throat, tonsils, and back of the mouth. HPV type 16 causes about 90% of HPV-positive throat cancers.
HPV types 6 and 11 cause 90% of genital warts. While not life-threatening, genital warts require treatment and can recur. Vaccination prevents this common condition.
HPV is a major cause of vulvar and vaginal cancers in women. Gardasil 9 provides protection against the high-risk HPV types most responsible for these cancers.
While less common, HPV causes a significant proportion of penile cancers in men. Vaccination provides protection for men and helps prevent transmission to partners.
Important: The HPV vaccine does not replace cervical screening. Women should continue regular cervical screening (smear tests) as recommended, regardless of vaccination status.
Gardasil 9 is a recombinant vaccine made from virus-like particles (VLPs) that mimic the outer shell of HPV.
Important: The vaccine does NOT contain live virus or viral DNA. It cannot cause HPV infection.
When you receive the vaccine, your immune system recognises these particles as foreign and creates antibodies. If you’re later exposed to real HPV, your body already has the antibodies ready to neutralise the virus before it can establish infection.
Our pharmacist reviews your medical history, discusses any allergies or concerns, and confirms the appropriate dosing schedule for your age.
The vaccine is given as an injection in your upper arm. We use modern, fine needles to minimise discomfort.
You'll wait in our comfortable seating area for 15 minutes. This is standard protocol for all vaccines to monitor for any immediate reactions (which are very rare).
Gardasil 9 has been extensively studied in clinical trials involving over 15,000 participants and has been used safely in millions of people worldwide since 2014.
These side effects typically resolve within 1–2 days and can be managed with over-the-counter pain relief if needed.
Breastfeeding is safe — the vaccine does not pass into breast milk.
