The HPV vaccination for women may take about six months, with a two-month interval between the first shot and the second shot, and a possible three-month interval between the second shot and the third shot. Also women may delay the vaccination for other reasons during the HPV vaccination process. The entire time needed to complete the HPV vaccine may be around six months, and women are advised not to prepare for pregnancy during the HPV vaccination. Also, HPV vaccine should not be given during breastfeeding or pregnancy. You need to wait until the pregnancy is over or breastfeeding is over before you can get the HPV vaccine.
