I got the hpv vaccine gardsal do I need cervarix ?
Brief Answer:
no not needed
Detailed Answer:
HI
Sorry about the late reply
There are different types of HPV viruses. Gardasil offers protection against more types than cervarix.
Gardasil can protect against HPV types 6, 11,16 and 18 whereas cervarix protects against 16 and 18 only.
Types 16 and 18 are responsible for the most cases of cancer whereas 6 and 11 are involved in most cases of warts.
So gardasil would offer protection from both so you don't need the cervarix
Please feel free to ask anything else
