GARDASIL AND YOU
GARDASIL is for girls and women ages 9 to 26. GARDASIL works when given before
you have any contact with HPV Types 6, 11, 16, and 18.
If you've already been infected with HPV, you may still benefit from GARDASIL
because it is unlikely that you have been infected with all 4 types of the virus
covered by the vaccine. Your doctor or healthcare professional can help you
understand more.
WHY SHOULD I GET MY DAUGHTER VACCINATED WITH GARDASIL NOW? CAN’T IT WAIT?
Like other vaccines your daughter has received, GARDASIL works to help prevent illness.
GARDASIL works when given before there is any contact with HPV Types 6, 11, 16, and 18.
That’s why it’s important that you talk to your daughter’s doctor or healthcare professional
about getting GARDASIL now—not later. You’ll be helping to protect her future from cervical
cancer and genital warts before she’s even old enough to worry about them.
GARDASIL IS PART OF YOUR DAUGHTER’S RECOMMENDED VACCINATION SCHEDULE.
Talk to your daughter's doctor or healthcare professional about getting her vaccinated with
GARDASIL.
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.
