Gardasil 9 Vaccine is used to protect females and males against diseases caused by 9 types of Human Papillomavirus (HPV), including cervical, vaginal, vulvar, anal, and certain oropharyngeal and other head and neck cancers, as well as genital warts. It is most effective when given before first exposure to HPV.
It contains antigens from 9 HPV types (6, 11, 16, 18, 31, 33, 45, 52, and 58). It is administered as an intramuscular injection by a healthcare professional, given as a 2 or 3-dose course depending on age at first vaccination. This vaccine does not treat existing HPV infection or disease.
Completing the full vaccination course as scheduled, maintaining routine cervical cancer screening, and remaining seated for 15 minutes post-vaccination (to prevent fainting) are all part of safe vaccination practice.
Before receiving this vaccine, tell the healthcare team about any severe allergy to yeast or to any component of the vaccine, or any current moderate or severe illness. This vaccine is not suitable during pregnancy.
