Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Gardasil, a vaccine designed to protect against HPV (Human Papillomavirus), was first made available in 2006. It targets several high-risk HPV types that are linked to cervical cancer and other HPV-related conditions, but not specifically serotypes 12 and 17 as mentioned. Current recommendations typically advise starting vaccination for both girls and boys at ages 11 or 12, not age 8. While the vaccine is recommended for individuals up to age 26, certain guidelines have expanded the age recommendation up to 45 years under specific conditions, but it is not universally recommended for all patients over 26 years of age without considering individual risk factors.
