GARDASIL is contraindicated in individuals who are hypersensitive to the active
substances or to any of the excipients of the vaccine.
Vaccination with GARDASIL may not result in protection in all vaccine recipients.
GARDASIL is not intended to be used for treatment of active genital warts;
cervical cancer; cervical intraepithelial neoplasia, vulvar intraepithelial
neoplasia, or vaginal intraepithelial neoplasia.
GARDASIL does not substitute for routine cervical cancer screening, and women
who receive GARDASIL should continue to undergo screening per standard of care.
GARDASIL has not been shown to protect against diseases due to non-vaccine
HPV types.
The duration of protection of GARDASIL is unknown at present. GARDASIL will
not protect against diseases that are not caused by HPV.
The vaccine-related adverse experiences that were observed among recipients
of GARDASIL at a frequency of at least 1.0% and greater than placebo were pain,
swelling, erythema, fever, nausea, pruritus, and dizziness. In addition, common
postmarketing reports include vomiting and syncope.
As with all injectable vaccines, appropriate medical treatment should always
be readily available in case of rare anaphylactic reactions following the administration
of the vaccine.
A complete vaccination regimen of GARDASIL consists of a 3-dose schedule.
