Yes, Gardasil 9 helps prevent cervical cancer by protecting against HPV types that cause most cervical cancers.
Gardasil 9 is a vaccine designed to protect against nine types of Human Papillomavirus (HPV), which are known to cause cervical cancer, among other types of cancers and genital warts. The vaccine targets HPV types 6, 11, 16, 18, 31, 33, 45, 52, and 58.
HPV types 16 and 18 are responsible for approximately 70% of cervical cancer cases. By immunizing against these and other high-risk HPV types, Gardasil 9 significantly lowers the risk of developing cervical cancer.
In addition to preventing cervical cancer, Gardasil 9 also helps protect against other HPV-related cancers, such as anal, throat, and penile cancers, and also prevents genital warts caused by HPV types 6 and 11.
For optimal protection, it is recommended that individuals receive the vaccine before becoming sexually active, as it is most effective before exposure to HPV. However, it can still benefit those who are already sexually active.
You can conveniently schedule your Gardasil 9 vaccination through Hati Health, ensuring you receive the necessary protection against HPV-related conditions.
