Female Sterilisation

If you are from 9 to and including 14 years of age at the time of first injection Gardasil 9 can be administered according to a 2-dose schedule:

• First injection: at the chosen date
• Second injection: given between 5 and 13 months after the first injection

If you are from 15 years of age at the time of the first injection Gardasil 9 should be administered according to a 3-dose schedule:

• First injection: at the chosen date
• Second injection: 2 months after the first injection (not earlier than one month after the first dose)
• Third injection: 6 months after the first injection (not earlier than 3 months after the second dose)

HPV Vaccination is not a substitute for routine cervical screening. Since no vaccine is 100% effective and Gardasil 9 will not provide protection against every HPV type, or against existing HPV infections or cancers, routine cervical screening remains critically important and should follow the national recommendations.
