GARDASIL:
FPA is pleased to offer Gardasil vaccination. GARDASIL is the only cervical cancer vaccine that helps protect
against 4 types of human papillomavirus (HPV): 2 types that cause 70% of cervical cancer cases, and
2 more types that cause 90% of genital warts cases. GARDASIL is for girls and young women ages 9 to 26.
GARDASIL may not fully protect everyone, and does not prevent all types of cervical cancer, so it’s
important to continue routine cervical cancer screenings. GARDASIL will not protect against diseases
caused by other HPV types or against diseases not caused by HPV.
Anyone who is allergic to the ingredients of GARDASIL, including those severely allergic to yeast,
should not receive the vaccine. GARDASIL is not for women who are pregnant. GARDASIL does not treat
cervical cancer or genital warts.
More information about Gardasil is available here.
