A member asked:
I have a history of ovarian cancer in my family, is it ok for me to get gardasil vaccinations?
4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Yes: Hpv vaccination is recommended for all women and men age 9-26. Hpv infection is unrelated to a family history of ovarian cancer.

Yes: Yes, but hpv has nothing to do wi cancer of the ovaries. Hpv causes all cervical cancers and bulk of vaginal, vulvar and anal cancers as well as most head-and-neck cancs, non-melanoma skin cancers and many other problems. You should get this shot for both daughters and sons no matter what your history is!
