6 minute read
The cost of HPV vaccination is the first thing most people ask about, and for good reason. At £300 for complete protection, Gardasil 9 isn’t cheap. But when you understand exactly what you’re paying for and compare it to the alternatives, the value becomes crystal clear.
Real numbers, no surprises. No vague “from £” prices, no hidden consultation fees, no unexpected charges when you arrive. We charge £150 per dose for Gardasil 9. Most people need two doses, so that’s £300 total. Simple, transparent, honest.
If you’re researching HPV vaccine costs because you’re ready to get protected, our complete HPV vaccine London guide covers everything you need to know about booking your vaccination.
⚠️ Price Transparency Promise
Our pricing at Ealing Travel Clinic: £150 per dose, £300 for complete 2-dose course, £450 for 3-dose course (immunocompromised only). No consultation fees, no booking charges, no certificate fees. The price you see is the price you pay.
Gardasil 9 Vaccine Price Breakdown
Understanding what’s included in your vaccine cost helps you make an informed decision. Your £150 per dose covers:
What’s Included in the £150:
- The vaccine itself – Genuine Gardasil 9 from approved UK suppliers
- Professional consultation – Risk assessment and medical history review
- Expert administration – By qualified healthcare professionals
- 15-minute observation – Post-vaccination monitoring for safety
- Vaccination record – Official documentation for your records
- Follow-up support – Direct contact for any concerns
Dosing Schedule and Total Costs:
Standard Adult Schedule (25+ years):
- 2 doses, 6 months apart
- Total cost: £300
- Full protection against 9 HPV types
Under 25 Years:
- 1 dose if following NHS guidelines
- Cost at our clinic: £150
- Complete protection with single dose
Immunocompromised Individuals:

- Total cost: £450

NHS vs Private HPV Vaccine Costs
The NHS offers free HPV vaccination, but only to specific groups. Understanding who qualifies helps explain why private vaccination exists.
Who Gets Free NHS HPV Vaccination:
- School pupils in Year 8 (ages 12-13)
- Catch-up eligible until 25th birthday
- Men who have sex with men up to age 45
- Some transgender individuals through specialist clinics
- Sex workers through some sexual health clinics
Why Pay Privately?
If you’re over 25: The NHS simply won’t provide it, regardless of your willingness to pay. Your only option is private vaccination.
If you’re under 25 but want quick access: NHS waiting times can be weeks or months. Private clinics offer same-day appointments.
If you want choice: NHS uses whichever vaccine they have. Private clinics guarantee Gardasil 9, the most comprehensive protection.
The £300 investment in private vaccination makes sense when you consider NHS cervical screening alone costs the system £175 million annually. Prevention through vaccination is more cost-effective than treatment.
Understanding HPV Vaccine Pricing in London
Private HPV vaccination in London typically ranges from £150-£280 per dose based on general market rates, but here’s the important bit: the advertised price isn’t always what you’ll pay.
What Many Clinics Add to the Advertised Price:
Consultation fees:
- Often £30-75 extra
- Not always mentioned upfront
- Sometimes called “assessment fee”
Booking or admin charges:
- Usually £10-20
- Added during online booking
- May be called “processing fee”
Certificate fees:
- Can be £15-25 extra
- For your vaccination record
- Should be included but often isn’t
The Real Total Cost: When these extras are added, what looked like £165 per dose can become £210+. A two-dose course advertised at £330 might actually cost £420+ after all fees.
Questions to Ask Any Clinic:
- “Is the consultation included in the vaccine price?”
- “Are there any booking or admin fees?”
- “Is the vaccination certificate included?”
- “What’s the absolute total I’ll pay for the complete course?”
At Ealing Travel Clinic we keep it simple: £150 per dose includes everything. No consultation fees, no booking charges, no certificate costs. The price we quote is the price you pay.
⚠️ Hidden Costs Warning
Many clinics advertise low headline prices but add consultation fees (£30-50), booking fees (£10-20), and certificate charges (£15-25).
Always ask for the total cost including all fees.
We have no hidden charges at Ealing Travel Clinic.
Why Gardasil 9 Costs More Than Older Vaccines
You might find cheaper HPV vaccines, but they’re likely older versions with less protection:
Vaccine Evolution and Pricing:
Cervarix (2-valent):
- Protects against 2 HPV types
- Covers 70% of cervical cancers
- Cheaper but less comprehensive
- Being phased out
Gardasil (4-valent):
- Protects against 4 HPV types
- Covers 70% of cervical cancers + genital warts
- Lower cost, less protection
- Largely replaced by Gardasil 9
Gardasil 9 (9-valent):
- Protects against 9 HPV types
- Covers 90% of cervical cancers + genital warts
- Current gold standard
- Worth the extra cost for comprehensive protection
The additional £50-70 for Gardasil 9 versus older vaccines buys you protection against 5 extra cancer-causing HPV types. That’s a 20% increase in cancer prevention for a modest price difference.
