Last updated

For healthcare professionals — reference only. This page is a brief summary, not medical advice and not a substitute for official labeling or clinical judgement. Always verify before prescribing or dispensing.

Summary

Everolimus is immunosuppressive and may blunt the antibody response to the HPV vaccine, leaving the patient less protected. The vaccine is not a live vaccine, so it is not unsafe, but its effectiveness may be reduced.

What this interaction means in plain words

Everolimus and Human papillomavirus vaccine nonavalent can affect each other. The combination is often manageable, but it may need a change of dose, a change of timing, or extra checks while both are taken.

Evidence level: Moderate

Why it happens

mTOR inhibition suppresses lymphocyte proliferation and so weakens the immune response to vaccine antigens.

What to do

Where possible, complete vaccination before starting everolimus. If the patient is already on therapy, vaccinate as indicated and consider checking antibody response, since a reduced response is likely.
