HPV vaccination - Warsaw Wola and Płock
At OpenMed Medical Centre we give HPV vaccinations at our facilities in Warsaw Wola and in Płock. The vaccination is preceded by a medical assessment, during which the doctor evaluates the patient's health and discusses the indications, possible contraindications and the vaccination schedule.
HPV vaccination is part of the prevention of infection with selected types of human papillomavirus. It can be considered in adolescents and adults, women and men, including after the start of sexual activity - following an individual conversation with a doctor.
Who is HPV vaccination for?
HPV vaccination can be considered for:
- adolescents,
- adult women and men,
- people who have not previously been vaccinated against HPV,
- patients who have started sexual activity,
- people planning conscious intimate health prevention,
- patients who want to reduce the risk of infection with selected HPV types,
- parents who want to discuss vaccinating their child or teenager.
The doctor decides on eligibility for vaccination during the visit.

Why consider HPV vaccination?
HPV is a virus that can be linked to the development of lesions of the skin and mucous membranes. Some HPV types matter in the prevention of precancerous and cancerous lesions, and some can be responsible for genital warts, known as condylomata acuminata.
HPV vaccination is preventive in nature. This means its aim is to reduce the risk of future infection with selected types of the virus. Vaccination does not treat an active HPV infection and does not replace follow-up tests such as cervical cytology, an HPV test or colposcopy where these are indicated.
HPV vaccination for women
In women, HPV vaccination is an important element of intimate health prevention, particularly in the context of cervical cancer prevention. It can be considered both in young patients and in adult women who have not been vaccinated before.
At OpenMed a patient can discuss vaccination with a doctor and ask about further prevention, cytology results, a positive HPV result or indications for additional diagnostics.
HPV vaccination for men
HPV also affects men. The infection may run without symptoms, but it can also be associated with lesions of the genitals, the anus or other areas exposed to the virus.
HPV vaccination in men can be part of sexual health prevention and a responsible approach to one's own safety and that of a partner.
HPV vaccination in adults
Adult patients often ask whether HPV vaccination makes sense after the start of sexual activity. In many cases it is worth discussing this individually with a doctor. Earlier contact with HPV does not necessarily mean contact with all the types of the virus covered by prevention.
During the assessment the doctor explains what can realistically be expected from vaccination and what vaccination does not provide. This allows the patient to make a conscious decision based on their own health situation.
What does HPV vaccination look like at OpenMed?
The visit covers:
- a medical assessment of eligibility for vaccination,
- an evaluation of current health,
- a discussion of indications and contraindications,
- information about the schedule of subsequent doses,
- administration of the vaccine if there are no contraindications,
- post-vaccination recommendations.
Vaccination takes place in medical conditions, following safety rules and with proper documentation.
