A member asked:

Will the gardasil shot prevent me from having children later on in life?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No: This vaccine has no direct impact on your fertility. Indirectly, it will likely prevent many from developing cervical cancer & needing a hysterectomy. So in many ways, it may help people have kids that might not otherwise.
