How the HPV Vaccine (Gardasil 9) Works 

Almost every unvaccinated person who is sexually active will get HPV (human papillomavirus) at some time in their life. And, each year in the United States (US) HPV causes ~36,000 cases of cancer for men and women. Fortunately, the HPV vaccine protects against several different strains of the virus that are known to cause cancer (cervical, vaginal, anal, etc). Since 2006 when HPV vaccines were first used in the US, HPV infections and precancer detections (on the cervix) have dropped more than 80%. Additionally, over 15 years of monitoring continue to show that HPV vaccines are safe and well tolerated. Preventing cancer is better than treating it, and HPV vaccination is cancer prevention.
