A member asked:
Does the 2 to 3 weeks wait period before the vaccine kicks in applies also for after the third dose of gardasil 9? or are you protected instally after
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Immediately: The spacing of the doses is designed to preserve and extend the antibody levels developed after the first dose of the vaccine. As long as these are given within the recommended time intervals the patient sustains protective levels continuously. The final dose is meant to extend the duration of protective levels for decades.
