WHAT ARE GENITAL WARTS?
Genital warts are usually flesh-colored growths. The types of HPV that cause genital
warts are different from the types that can cause cervical cancer.
About 2 out of 3 people who have sexual contact with a person who has genital
warts will also get them. And even if the genital warts are treated, 25% of cases come
back within 3 months if HPV is still present.
THERE'S GOOD NEWS
Being vaccinated with GARDASIL before coming into contact with a person who has HPV can
help protect you against HPV Types 6 and 11—the types of HPV that cause most cases of
genital warts.
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.
