Overview

What Does Gardasil 9 Help Prevent?

Gardasil 9 helps protect against nine HPV types:

TypesDescription
Low-risk HPV types· HPV 6 and 11 : Commonly associated with genital warts
High-risk HPV types· HPV 16 and 18: Major causes of cervical cancer and other HPV-related cancers
· HPV 31, 33, 45, 52, and 58: Additional high-risk types associated with cervical precancer, cervical cancer, and other HPV-related cancers

By protecting against these types, Gardasil 9 helps reduce the risk of:

  • Cervical cancer and precancerous cervical changes
  • Vulvar and vaginal cancers
  • Anal cancer
  • Certain oropharyngeal and other head and neck cancers
  • Genital warts

Gardasil 9 helps prevent new infections caused by vaccine-covered HPV types. It does not treat an HPV infection, genital warts, or abnormal cell changes that are already present.

Who It Is For

Who Should Receive the HPV Vaccine?

HPV vaccination is most effective when given before exposure to HPV.

Routine vaccination is generally recommended at age 11 or 12 and may be started from age 9. Catch-up vaccination is recommended through age 26 for people who were not previously vaccinated or did not complete the series.

Some adults who have not been adequately vaccinated may still benefit from vaccination. The decision can be made after considering previous vaccination, sexual history, age, and the possibility of future HPV exposure.

Can I Get Gardasil 9 If I Am Sexually Active or Have Tested Positive for HPV?

Yes. You may still receive Gardasil 9 after becoming sexually active or after testing positive for HPV.

Having been sexually active does not necessarily mean that you have been exposed to all nine HPV types covered by Gardasil 9. Even if you currently have or previously had HPV, the vaccine may still help protect against other vaccine-covered types that you have not acquired.

Gardasil 9 does not eliminate an existing HPV infection or treat genital warts, abnormal cervical cells, or cervical precancer. Routine cervical cancer screening should therefore still be continued after vaccination.

However, the expected benefit is generally greater when vaccination is completed before HPV exposure.

Should Men Receive Gardasil 9?

Yes. HPV can affect both women and men.

In men, HPV may cause genital warts as well as anal, penile, oropharyngeal, and other head and neck cancers. Vaccination also helps reduce the risk of transmitting vaccine-covered HPV types to sexual partners.

At LANTE OBGYN in Gangnam, Seoul, Korea, Gardasil 9 vaccination is available for men.

Vaccine Guidance

Gardasil 9 Vaccination Schedule

For patients who begin vaccination at age 15 or older, Gardasil 9 is generally given as a three-dose series:

  • First dose : Day 0
  • Second dose : 2 months after the first dose
  • Third dose : 6 months after the first dose

If a scheduled dose is delayed, the series usually does not need to be restarted. The remaining doses can generally be continued after reviewing the previous vaccination dates.

Who Should Delay or Avoid Vaccination?

HPV vaccination may need to be delayed or avoided if you:
  • Had a severe allergic reaction to a previous HPV vaccine dose or one of its components
  • Are currently experiencing a moderate or severe acute illness
  • Are pregnant

HPV vaccination is not routinely recommended during pregnancy. If a dose was given before pregnancy was recognized, the remaining doses are generally postponed until after pregnancy rather than restarting the series. Breastfeeding is generally not a reason to avoid HPV vaccination.

Possible Side Effects

Common reactions may include:
  • Pain, redness, or swelling at the injection site
  • Headache
  • Mild fever
  • Fatigue
  • Dizziness, nausea, or fainting

At LANTE OBGYN, patients are generally asked to rest for approximately 10–15 minutes after vaccination. If you feel dizzy, faint, or unwell, you may remain at the clinic for further observation until you feel comfortable leaving.

FAQ

HPV Vaccination (Gardasil 9) FAQ

Do I need an HPV test before receiving Gardasil 9?
No. HPV testing is not routinely required before vaccination. The decision to receive Gardasil 9 is generally based on factors such as age, previous HPV vaccination, and medical history rather than on an HPV test result alone.
Can I get vaccinated if my HPV test is positive?
Yes. The vaccine does not eliminate an existing HPV infection, but it may still help protect against other vaccine-covered HPV types that you have not acquired.
What is the best age to receive the HPV vaccine?
The vaccine is most effective before exposure to HPV. Routine vaccination is generally recommended at age 11 or 12 and may begin from age 9. People who were not fully vaccinated earlier are generally advised to complete vaccination through age 26.
Can I receive Gardasil 9 if I am already sexually active?
Yes. Previous sexual activity does not prevent vaccination. Being sexually active does not necessarily mean that you have been exposed to all nine HPV types covered by Gardasil 9. Vaccination may still help protect against types you have not acquired.
Should men receive the HPV vaccine?
Yes. HPV can cause genital warts and several cancers in men, including anal and oropharyngeal cancers. Vaccination can help protect the vaccinated person and reduce the risk of transmitting vaccine-covered HPV types to sexual partners.
Do I still need Pap smears after vaccination?
Yes. Gardasil 9 does not protect against every type of HPV that may cause cervical disease, and it does not treat an infection acquired before vaccination. Routine cervical cancer screening remains important.
What happens if I miss a scheduled dose?
The vaccination series usually does not need to be restarted. The remaining doses can generally be continued after reviewing the previous vaccination dates.
