A member asked:
Are there any other hpv vaccines that are as good as or protect better than or against more strains than gardsil 9 strain? i am a 17 yr old male
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: Gardasil-9 is as good as it gets at this time (2016). It will be many years (maybe 15 years) before there is enough data from millions of people who got one or more of the 3 HPV vaccines in the U.S. When there is enough data, researchers will be able to say which of the 3 vaccines gave the best protection against catching HPV, getting warts, getting precancerous changes, and getting cancers.
