A member asked:
I have had the jab against cervical cancer (gardasil) what are the chances of my getting mouth or throat cancer?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends: There are presently 3 vaccines available.All cover the 2 primary strains associated with cervical,throat and anal cancer. The newest covers 5 additional strains that could be linked to a minority of cancers. The vaccine does help protect against the most common strains, which reduces risk a lot, but not 100%.The vaccine is not site specific, it protects against cancer in any site.
