GARDASIL 0.5ml PFS (single dose)

Gardasil is a vaccine used to prevent certain diseases caused by human papillomavirus (HPV) types 6, 11, 16, and 18. HPV is a common virus that can lead to various health problems, including genital warts and certain cancers. Gardasil helps protect against:

• Cervical cancer
• Vulvar cancer
• Vaginal cancer
• Anal cancer
• Genital warts
• Precancerous cervical, vulvar, vaginal, and anal lesions

The “0.5ml PFS” in the description refers to the specific formulation and packaging of the vaccine. “PFS” stands for pre-filled syringe, indicating that the vaccine is supplied in a pre-measured syringe ready for injection. The volume of the vaccine is 0.5 milliliters.

Gardasil is typically administered as a series of injections into the muscle of the upper arm or thigh. The number of doses and the schedule may vary depending on the age of the individual at the time of vaccination and other factors. In many cases, Gardasil is administered as a series of two or three doses over a period of several months.

It’s essential to discuss the Gardasil vaccine with a healthcare provider to determine whether it’s appropriate for you or your child and to understand the recommended schedule and potential risks and benefits. Vaccination with Gardasil is recommended for both males and females to help prevent HPV-related diseases.
