A member asked:

Will the gardasil9 hpv vaccine protect us from hpv infection for more than 16 years?

3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers

Disease is dependent on the virulence of the infectious agent and the immune system. So in general -yes But not 100%

Gardasil 9 is now available (in the USA) from ages 9 to 45 years of age in 2 or 3 doses depending on age and dose intervals. I agree, no vaccine is perfect. There needs to be more research for this over time. This is the only vaccine to prevent cervical/vaginal/vulvar cancer caused by HPV
