Gardasil

Gardasil is a vaccine designed to protect against certain strains of human papillomavirus (HPV), a common virus that can cause genital warts and are linked to many cancers, including cervical, anal, and throat cancers. It works by stimulating the immune system to recognize and fight off these virus strains if encountered. Usually administered in multiple doses, Gardasil is recommended for preteens, teens, and young adults to help prevent HPV-related health issues. It is considered safe and effective, significantly reducing the risk of HPV infections and their potential complications.
