Is the Gardasil 9 vaccine safe for pregnant women?
Gardasil 9 is not recommended for use during pregnancy. Consult your healthcare provider for more information and alternative options.
Gardasil 9 and Pregnancy
The Gardasil 9 vaccine is designed to protect against nine types of Human Papillomavirus (HPV), which can lead to cervical cancer, genital warts, and other HPV-related cancers. While it is a highly effective vaccine, it is not recommended for use during pregnancy.
Why is Gardasil 9 Not Recommended During Pregnancy?
Current guidelines advise against administering the Gardasil 9 vaccine to pregnant women due to limited data on its safety in this population. The vaccine has not been studied extensively in pregnant women, and thus, potential risks to the developing fetus are not fully understood.
What Should You Do If You Are Pregnant?
If you are pregnant or planning to become pregnant, it is important to discuss your vaccination options with your healthcare provider. They can provide guidance on when to safely receive the vaccine, typically after the pregnancy is completed. In the meantime, your healthcare provider might suggest other preventive measures to reduce the risk of HPV.
For those who are not pregnant, completing the Gardasil 9 vaccination series is recommended to ensure comprehensive protection against HPV-related diseases.
