The vaccine works by helping your immune system develop protection against HPV before you are exposed to the virus. Gardasil Vaccine is given as an injection, usually in 2 to 3 doses several months apart. It can be given to males and females between the ages of 9 and 26 years. Complete the full vaccination schedule for maximum benefits. Regular check-ups and screenings, like Pap smears, should still be done to monitor health even after vaccination.The most common side effects of Gardasil Vaccine include mild pain, redness, or swelling at the injection site, fever, headache, or dizziness. These effects are usually short-lived and go away on their own. If you experience more serious symptoms such as difficulty breathing, rash, or swelling, contact a doctor immediately. You can reduce mild side effects by resting and staying hydrated after the vaccination.Before receiving Gardasil Vaccine, tell your doctor if you are pregnant, have a weakened immune system, or have any allergies.

**Question: What is a quadrivalent vaccine?** **Answer:** Quadrivalent vaccine means that the vaccine protects against 4 types of human papillomavirus. The human papilloma quadrivalent vaccine is effective against diseases caused by HPV types 6, 11, 16, and 18. It prevents various diseases caused by the virus but does not treat them. The diseases may include pre-cancerous lesions of the female genitals, pre-cancerous lesions of the anus, and genital warts in males as well as females, cervical and anal cancers. **Question: I didn't get the last dose of the Gardasil Vaccine. Do I need to start over again?** **Answer:** No, you can just continue from where you left off. However, it would be best to consult your doctor before using Gardasil Vaccine again. **Question: Is Pap smear test (a method of cervical screening) still necessary if I have already taken Gardasil Vaccine?** **Answer:** Yes, vaccinated women will still need regular cervical cancer screening as the effect of the vaccine may work against most but not all HPV types that can cause cervical cancer. **Question: How well does Gardasil Vaccine work?** **Answer:** Gardasil Vaccine works extremely well for most of the cases. Clinical trials have shown that these types of vaccines provide close to 100% protection against cervical and vaginal cancer, genital warts, and infection caused by the Human Papillomavirus (HPV) types. **Question: Does Gardasil Vaccine carry any health risks or side effects?** **Answer:** Overall, Gardasil Vaccine does not have any major side effects. The most common side effects include soreness, swelling, or redness at the injection site. Sometimes dizziness or fainting occurs after the injection, sitting for 15 minutes after the injection can reduce the risk of fainting. One may also experience headaches, nausea, vomiting, fatigue, or weakness. Consult your doctor if the symptoms bother you for too long. **Question: Do I need to worry about HPV if my partner and I always use a condom?** **Answer:** If your partner has an HPV infection (with or without symptoms), you can still get infected with HPV even if you always use a condom. The reason is that a condom cannot provide 100% protection from any sexually transmitted infection. Furthermore, HPV is mostly transmitted during sexual intercourse, it can also be transmitted due to oral sex or during genital to genital contact. **Question: Can Gardasil Vaccine be given with other vaccines?** **Answer:** Yes, Gardasil Vaccine can be given either simultaneously, before or after any other live or inactivated vaccines. However, each time a different syringe and a different site should be used. Studies have shown that administering this vaccine with other vaccines does not have any effect on the antibody response by the body and does not change its effectiveness. However, it is advised to consult the doctor before using any other vaccine. **Question: Is Gardasil Vaccine a live vaccine?** **Answer:** No, Gardasil Vaccine is not a live vaccine. Gardasil Vaccine contains virus-like particles produced from the outer protein covering of the virus (capsid) of each HPV type using DNA recombinant technology (creating DNA sequences that would not otherwise be found in the gene pool). Gardasil Vaccines do not have any viral DNA and can neither cause an infection nor cancer. **Question: How long does Gardasil Vaccine last for?** **Answer:** Research suggests that Gardasil Vaccine protection is effective for a very long duration. There is no evidence which indicates a decrease in protection over time. Some studies have shown that individuals who were vaccinated were protected for about 12 years. Further studies are ongoing to determine the exact duration of protection. **Question: Should girls and women be screened for cervical cancer before getting vaccinated?** **Answer:** No, there is no need to get an HPV test or a pap test to find out if they should get the vaccine. However, women should get screened for cervical cancer, even if they have received all the recommended shots of Gardasil Vaccine. This is because the Gardasil Vaccine does not prevent all types of cancer of the cervix. **Question: How effective is the Gardasil Vaccine?** **Answer:** The Gardasil Vaccine is highly effective in preventing the targeted HPV types. It also protects against the most common health problems caused by them. The vaccine is less effective in preventing HPV-related disease in young women who have already been exposed to one or more types of HPV. This is because the vaccine is only meant for the prevention of HPV-related disease, not for the treatment. **Question: How safe is the Gardasil Vaccine?** **Answer:** Gardasil Vaccine is safe and well tolerated among patients. The vaccines usually undergo years of testing before being licensed by the health authorities and remain under continuous monitoring for safety. Side effects with Gardasil Vaccine are mild to moderate in intensity and commonly include pain, swelling, redness at the injection site, and headache. **Question: Do males need Gardasil Vaccine?** **Answer:** Yes, males can benefit from Gardasil Vaccine as it helps prevent genital warts and anal cancer caused by HPV. It also reduces the spread of HPV to sexual partners. --- ## SUBSTITUTES
