CERVICAL CANCER VACCINE
HPV (Human Papilloma Virus)
Cervical Cancer
Cervical cancer is a type of cancer that starts in the cervix, the lower part of the uterus that connects to the vagina. It is primarily caused by persistent infection with certain high-risk types of human papillomavirus (HPV), a common virus transmitted through sexual contact.
Cervical Cancer Vaccine
The HPV vaccine (such as Gardasil 9) is a highly effective, safe injection that prevents infection from high-risk HPV strains responsible for over 75% of cervical cancers. It is recommended for children aged 11–12, but can be given from age 9 up to 45, ideally before sexual activity. Common side effects include pain, swelling, or redness at the injection site, fever, and headache.
