A member asked:

Should you get the gardisil shot again for a second time being that it doesn't protect you from hpv for a lifetime?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Confusing question: This vaccine is given in a 3 shot series. At present we know that a single dose will produce limited and transient protection but research supports long term benefit if the series is completed. It has the potential for complete protection for life.How long the actual duration will be is hard to say until we have 25 or more years of use by enough people.
