A member asked:
How long does it take gardasil to kick in?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Protection delay: It takes the body 2-3 weeks to develop protective antibody to a vaccine. This would apply to the gardasil. The first dose would start the process, but long term protection would require completion of the series. It will not protect you against agents not in the vaccine.
