Yes, a 10-year-old can safely receive the HPV (Human Papillomavirus) vaccine. It is recommended for children from 9 years of age to help protect against cervical and other HPV-related cancers later in life. The vaccine is generally well-tolerated, with common side effects including a sore arm, mild fever, or headache. Your doctor can advise on the appropriate dosing schedule and ensure it is safe based on your child?s health history.
