HPV Vaccinations

HPV vaccines are vaccines that protect against infection with human papillomaviruses (HPV). HPV may be a group of quite 200 related viruses, of which quite 40 are spread through direct sexual contact. Among these, two HPV types cause genital warts, and a few dozen HPV types can cause certain sorts of cancer—cervical, anal, oropharyngeal, penile, vulvar, and vaginal.

 

Three vaccines that prevent infection with disease-causing HPV types are licensed to be used within the United States: Gardasil®, Gardasil® 9, and Cervarix®. All three vaccines prevent infection with HPV types 16 and 18, two high-risk HPVs that cause about 70% of cervical cancers and a good higher percentage of a number of the opposite HPV-caused cancers (1, 2). Gardasil also prevents infection with HPV types 6 and 11, which cause 90% of genital warts (3). Gardasil 9 prevents infection with an equivalent four HPV types plus five additional cancer-causing types (31, 33, 45, 52, and 58) that together account for 10 to twenty of cervical cancers.

 

Gardasil 9 is now the sole HPV vaccine available to be used within the us . Cervarix and Gardasil are still utilized in other countries.
