Human Papillomavirus (HPV) is one of the most common sexually transmitted infections globally. While many infections clear on their own, persistent HPV can lead to serious health problems, including cervical, vaginal, vulvar, anal, and throat cancers, as well as genital warts. Fortunately, the Gardasil 9 vaccine offers robust protection against nine high-risk strains of HPV, making it a critical tool for cancer prevention.

Gardasil 4 targets four key HPV strains:

• HPV 16 and 18: Responsible for most cervical cancer cases.
• HPV 6 and 11: The primary culprits behind genital warts.

The vaccine stimulates your immune system to produce antibodies, equipping your body to fight off these viruses if you’re exposed.
