About Gardasil Vaccine

Gardasil Vaccine belongs to the class of medicines called ‘immunizing agents’. It is given to individuals aged nine to twenty-six years to prevent various diseases caused by Human Papillomavirus (HPV). Human papillomavirus (HPV) can cause genital warts, cancer of the cervix, anal cancer, and various cancers of the vulva or vagina.

Gardasil Vaccine is a quadrivalent vaccine or immunizing agent which is made from a live and weakened or attenuated virus (mixture of virus-like particles derived from the L1 capsid proteins of HPV types 6, 11, 16 and 18). It helps develop immunity by stimulating the immune system to produce relevant antibodies. It is essential to take the vaccine doses as per the doctor’s advice to develop protection against the diseases.
