Generic Name: human papillomavirus vaccine
Other Brand Names:
Gardasil, human papillomavirus vaccine
Human papillomavirus (HPV) can cause genital warts, cancer of the cervix, and various cancers
of the vulva or vagina.
HPV vaccine is used to
prevent
genital warts and cervical/vaginal cancers
caused by certain types of HPV (types 6, 11, 16, and 18) in girls and young women.The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends HPV vaccine for all girls
ages 11 or 12 years old. The vaccine is also recommended in girls and women ages 13 through 26
years old who have not already received the vaccine or have not completed all booster shots.
You may receive this vaccine even if you have already had genital warts, or had a positive
HPV test or abnormal pap smear in the past. However, this vaccine will not
treat
active genital warts or HPV-related cancers, and it will not cure
HPV infection.HPV vaccine may also be used for other purposes not listed in this medication guide.
