Gardasil - Cervical Cancer and Genital Wart Prevention Gardasil is the only vaccine that may help guard you against diseases caused by HPV Types 6 and 11, which cause 90% of genital warts cases.Cervical cancer is caused
by certain high-risk types of a virus - human papillomavirus (HPV). Other types of HPV can cause genital warts. All types can cause abnormal cervical cells and abnormal Pap tests. And because HPV often has no signs or
symptoms, many people don't know they have it. For most women, the virus will go away on its own. But for some, cervical cancer can develop. Most often this can take a number of years, but in rare cases it can happen
within a year. Gardasil is recommended for girls and women 9 to 26 years of age in three doses at 0, 2 and 6 month intervals. You can make an appointment with a Physician's Assistant to have
this vaccine administered. |
