    It can still make sense, because the vaccine covers several types and you’re unlikely to have been exposed to all of them. It won’t treat what you already have, which is the part that gets misunderstood.

    Whether it’s recommended and whether it’s funded for your age varies a lot by country, so that’s a question for your own clinic rather than for us.
