- For individuals aged 15 to 45 years, Gardasil is administered according to a 3-dose schedule. The second dose should be administered 2 months after the first dose, with the third dose following 6 months after the first dose....

Quick Tips
- Gardasil vaccine is designed to safeguard against illnesses triggered by Human Papillomavirus (HPV), including genital warts and some forms of cancer, such as cervical cancer. It does not cure an already existing HPV infection, but it can prevent you from contracting other strains of the virus....
- Gardasil is given as a series of injections, usually in the upper arm. The number of doses and the schedule depend on the individual's age when they start the vaccination series.
- It is essential to inform your doctor if you have a bleeding issue or are taking any medications, including high doses of corticosteroids or immunosuppressants.
- To avoid sexually transmitted infections, you should take precautionary measures and follow your doctor's recommendations.
- Like most vaccines, Gardasil can have side effects, but they are generally mild and temporary. Common side effects include pain, redness, or swelling at the injection site, headache, fever, and nausea....
- Even after vaccination, regular cervical cancer screenings (like Pap tests) are still crucial for women, as the vaccine doesn't protect against all HPV types that can cause cervical cancer.
- Completing the entire vaccine course is essential for maximum effectiveness. If you forget to take a dose, you can simply continue from where you left off. However, it's always best to consult your doctor before resuming the course....
- Always discuss any concerns or questions you have about the Gardasil vaccine with your healthcare provider. They can provide personalised advice based on your medical history and individual circumstances....
Dosage
Overdose
A doctor or nurse will give Gardasil Vaccine; thus, chances of overdose are unlikely. However, if you experience any discomfort or specific symptoms, inform your doctor or reach out to the nearest hospital....
Missed a Dose
It is unlikely that the dose of this injection will be missed. However, if you have missed taking any dose of this injection, inform your doctor or nurse immediately.
Mode of Action
How Does It Work?
Gardasil vaccine stimulates your immune system to produce antibodies against HPV linked with sexually transmitted infections, cervical and some other types of cancers. The vaccine itself is not known to cause any infection or risk of cancer....
Interactions
Interactions with other medicines
