The HPV immunisation vaccine can help prevent specific types of HPV infection that may lead to cervical cancer and some genital cancer. Gardasil 9, the new generation human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine, provides protection against the four HPV subtypes found in Gardasil (HPV 6, 11, 16 and 18) and an additional five subtypes (HPV 31, 33, 45, 52 and 58). Gardasil® 9 (Human Papillomavirus 9-valent Vaccine, Recombinant) helps protect individuals ages 9 to 45 against the following diseases caused by 9 types of HPV: cervical, vaginal, and vulvar cancers in females, anal cancer and genital warts in both males and females.
HPV stands for Human Papilloma Virus, a common virus that can infect many parts of the body. About 30 to 40 HPV strains can infect the genital area; some can cause genital warts in both men and women. Some types of HPV can infect the cervix (the lower part of the womb), causing normal cells to change, and some of these abnormal cells may develop into cervical cancer in women and less commonly, anal or penile cancer in men. HPV is the most common sexually transmitted infection worldwide. The benefits of HPV vaccination are maximised when given before any sexual activity where HPV exposure may occur.
In December 2014, the FDA announced the approval of Gardasil 9 for the prevention of cervical, vulvar, vaginal, and anal cancers. The vaccines have been approved as safe and effective. The vaccines consist of neither the viruses or any infectious material. This means you cannot get HPV infection from the vaccines.
Pain, swelling, itching redness at the site of injection and fever are some common side effects. Isolated reports of fainting immediately after HPV vaccination have been noted in some countries.
GARDASIL® 9 is an injection that is usually given in the arm muscle. GARDASIL® 9 may be given as 2 or 3 shots. The approved dose regime in Hong Kong is 2 doses for 9-14 years old, and 3 doses for 15 years old and above.
Current evidence shows a sustained protection against vaccine-targeted HPV-related diseases in long-term follow-up studies for the HPV vaccines. There is currently no recommendation for additional doses or booster shots.
We are committed to ensuring the health and safety of our patients, therefore we only provide 100% authentic and genuine products. Our Gardasil® 9 HPV vaccines are obtained from MSD (or Merck & Co) Pharmaceuticals from the USA, and have undergone stringent product testing and quality control inspections.
