IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT GARDASIL®

GARDASIL® is a vaccine indicated in girls and women 9-26 years of age, for the prevention of infection caused by HPV types 6, 11, 16 and 18, and the following diseases associated with these types: cervical cancer, abnormal and precancerous cervical cells, vulvar and vaginal cancers, abnormal and precancerous vulvar and vaginal cells, and genital warts. GARDASIL® is indicated in boys and men 9-26 years of age for the prevention of infection caused by HPV types 6, 11, 16 and 18, and genital warts caused by HPV types 6 and 11. 

GARDASIL® helps prevent these diseases but it does not treat them. And just like all vaccines, GARDASIL® may not fully protect everyone who gets it. GARDASIL® does not protect against all types of HPV. Duration of protection over the long term has not been established. Vaccination with GARDASIL® is not recommended during pregnancy. GARDASIL® may cause side effects and allergic reactions.

Even if you get vaccinated with GARDASIL®, it is still important for women to continue having regular Pap tests.

Only a healthcare professional can decide if GARDASIL® is right for you, your son or your daughter.
