Why should your child get vaccinated?
Your children can get the virus at any point in their lives once they are sexually active – which is why getting vaccinated before they are sexually active is recommended. Vaccination with GARDASIL®9 helps prevent infection with the HPV types that cause most genital warts and certain HPV-related cancers.
All it takes is 1 infected partner to be infected.

Know the facts about HPV
FACT: Using condoms may not be enough to protect your child from getting an HPV infection.
HPV, or the human papillomavirus, is the most common sexually transmitted infection in the world today and can affect any man or woman who is sexually active. Using condoms may reduce your chances of getting HPV, which is highly contagious, but condoms do not provide full protection. You can still get infected just by skin-to-skin or oral contact with the genital area, and without having intercourse.
If your daughter is aged 9 or older, GET HER VACCINATED to help prevent cervical cancer.
