[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would talk to her doctor because depending on the autoimmune issue, she might not mount a response to the shots and you would want to catch that before she started dating.

DS did three under the old guidance because he’s adopted and his caregiver before that didn’t believe in the HPV shots. [/quote]

It’s typically the opposite. They are hyper responders, titers off the charts, and then they have a misdirected immune response. But exposure to the virus causes the same response so it’s best to weigh that too.

Anytime a person is sick or their immune system is otherwise busy fighting elsewhere, is a bad time to get a vaccine that can wait.

I have a kid with PANDAS so always have to weigh this. She’s mostly healed and we have gotten vaccines without issue, but I usually wait for summer when they are least likely to be around other viruses.[/quote]

But that’s really the gist of OP’s question: can she wait?  I mean, teens will be teens, and they are not you going to tell you, the parent.  And they are not going to wait forever before beginning sexual activity.  And that usually starts with oral or anal which both carry HPV transmission risks.[/quote]
