Help Protect Yourself Today
Gardasil is for girls and young
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. That’s why we
feel it’s important for you to know about this vaccine now.

Important Information About GARDASIL
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. GARDASIL may not fully protect everyone,
and GARDASIL does not prevent all types of cervical cancer,
so it is important to continue regular cervical cancer screenings.
GARDASIL will not protect against diseases caused by other
types of HPV or against HPV types to which you have already
been exposed. GARDASIL can cause pain, swelling, itching,
and redness at the injection site, fever, nausea, and dizziness.
