WHAT GARDASIL
9 IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
Gardasil

for
children and
adolescents
from 9
years of age
and adults. It is given to
protect against diseases caused by Human Papillomavirus (
HPV) types
6, 11, 16, 18, 31, 33, 45, 52
and 58.
These diseases include
pre-cancerous lesions and cancers
of the female genitals (cervix, vulva, and
vagina), pre-cancerous lesions and cancers
of the anus
and
genital warts in males and females
.
Gardasil 9 has been studied in males
9 to 26
years of age
and females 9 to
45
years of age.
Gardasil

with one or more of the vaccine HPV types,
Gardasil 9
can still prot
ect against diseases associated
