About CERVARIX
CERVARIX helps prevent cervical cancer and precancers caused by human papillomavirus (HPV) types 16 and 18. These 2 HPV types cause 70% of cervical cancers. CERVARIX is a vaccine for girls and young women between the ages of
9 and 25.
CERVARIX does not prevent disease due to all HPV types and is not a treatment for cervical cancer. It is important to get routine cervical cancer screening, such as a Pap test, and to talk to your healthcare provider about lifestyle changes.
