No, the HPV vaccine does not contain live virus. It cannot cause HPV infection or any related illnesses. Here's why: The vaccine uses virus-like particles (VLPs).

When your body encounters these VLPs, it recognizes them as foreign and triggers an immune response. This immune response creates antibodies that can fight off actual HPV infection if you encounter the virus in the future. Therefore, the HPV vaccine is a safe and effective way to prevent HPV infection without introducing any live virus into your body.
