Get the Dish on GardisilVideo Description:You've heard the buzz surrounding the HPV-vaccine Gardasil. Now get the doctor-verified facts on the new STD-prevention vaccine. Transcript:Both cervical cancer and genital warts are caused by a sexually transmitted virus called HPV. Today, there is a vaccine that can protect some from this virus’s effects!  In 2006, the FDA approved Gardasil, the first vaccine to protect against certain strains of the human papillomavirus, or HPV. Although there are over 100 strains of this virus, only about 40 are harmful.  Gardasil protects against four specific strains of HPV, numbers 6 and 11, which cause 90 percent of genital warts cases, and numbers 16 and 18, which can lead to 70 percent of cervical cancers! Gardasil is approved for use in females between the ages of 9 and 26, although—since the virus is passed sexually—it’s best to get vaccinated before ever having intercourse.  Even if someone already has one strain of HPV, they can still get the vaccine to protect against the strains they don’t have. The vaccine is given as a set of three injections over six months.  Gardasil is not fully effective until all three shots are given.  Side effects may include redness and itching at the injection site, as well as nausea and fever.  If you’re interested in getting vaccinated with Gardasil, talk to your health care provider!
