Does getting an HPV vaccination cause you to get common warts?
I’ve had an HPV vaccination several months earlier. Recently (like 2 months ago) I got a common wart on my finger. I read it comes from and HPV virus.
Don’t vaccinations actually give you the virus to help you build immunity against it?? So is that where I got it from?

The HPV vaccine protects against 4 of the almost 100 strands of the virus. 2 strands cause gential warts and 2 cause cervical cancer. The vaccine doesn’t protect against nor cause common warts that you get on your finger.

The HPV vaccine does not contain any live virus…the vaccine is a virus like particle…sorta trick your body in building immunity to 4 genital HPV types. Two low risk HPV types 6 and11 and two high risk HPV types 16 and 18.
Warts on the hand are usually not genital HPV types.
They are 30+ genital HPV types and 70 other HPV types found in other areas of the body.
The wart on your hand probably has nothing to do with getting the vaccine…
