WHAT IS CERVICAL CANCER?
Cervical cancer is cancer of the cervix (the lower part of the uterus that connects to the vagina).
Cervical cancer is caused by certain types of HPV. When a female becomes infected with certain types
of HPV and the virus doesn’t go away on its own, abnormal cells can develop in the lining of the
cervix. If not discovered early and treated, these abnormal cells can become cervical precancers and
then cancer.
THERE'S GOOD NEWS
GARDASIL is the only vaccine that may help guard against diseases caused by HPV Types 16 and 18, which
cause 70% of cervical cancer cases, and HPV Types 6 and 11, which cause 90% of genital warts cases.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT GARDASIL
HPV Types 16 and 18 cause 70% of cervical cancer cases, and HPV Types 6 and 11 cause 90% of genital warts
cases.
GARDASIL may not fully protect everyone and does not prevent all types of cervical cancer, so it is important
to continue regular cervical cancer screenings.
Anyone who is allergic to the ingredients of GARDASIL should not receive the vaccine. GARDASIL is not for
women who are pregnant.
GARDASIL will not treat cervical cancer and genital warts, and will not protect against diseases caused by other
HPV types.
GARDASIL is given as 3 injections over 6 months and can cause pain, swelling, itching, and redness at the
injection site, fever, nausea, and dizziness.
Only a doctor or healthcare professional can decide if GARDASIL is right for you or your daughter.
