A member asked:
Can gardasil provide protection before all 3 injections are done?

Yes: You will start to develop an antibody response after the first dose but this will not be sufficient to give you maximum protection. It is important to complete the series of three doses. If you miss a dose you do not have to start over. You just get the dose you missed and continue on the course.

Gardasil: Some protection occurs after even one shot but the best protection is after all 3.
