1 For patients not covered by health insurance, the cost of HPV vaccination typically includes: shot administration fees and the cost of the three required doses of the vaccine at about $125 each, for a total of $400 to $500.

Although gains in life expectancy may be modest at the individual level, population benefits are substantial.
