Is HPV vaccine safe during pregnancy? What if one has already taken 2 doses, should she avoid the third dose or continue with it.

Thanks

As far as I am aware the vaccine should not be given to pregnant women as it is not fully known what effect it can have on your unborn baby. It is advisable you complete the course after your pregnancy. I would advise you to see a doctor regarding this as soon as you can.

Avoid the third dose, inform the doctor about it and take after pregnancy...you may get more information about vaccine by calling Merck at 800-986-8999..
