Here are some important details regarding vaccination with CERVARIX.
Where can I get vaccinated with CERVARIX?
Ask your family doctor, your OB/GYN, your pharmacist, your local woman’s health clinic or other healthcare provider about where vaccination with CERVARIX is available in your area.
Will my health insurance cover the cost of CERVARIX?
Every health plan is different. Before you visit your healthcare provider, check with your health insurance provider so you know for sure. Your healthcare provider might also have this information or be able to help you find out how to get it.
What if I can’t afford CERVARIX?
If you are concerned about being able to afford vaccination with CERVARIX because you don’t have health insurance or your plan does not cover it, visit GSKforYou.com to learn more about the GSK Vaccine Access Program for Adults.
The Vaccines for Children (VFC) Program is a federal program that helps families of children 18 and younger who, because of the cost, may not be vaccinated otherwise. VFC helps by giving free vaccines to doctors who serve them. To qualify, the child must be 18 years or younger and meet at least one of the following criteria:
- Is Medicaid eligible
- Does not have health insurance
- Is American Indian or Alaska Native
- Has health insurance that does not include vaccines. (This child must go to a special health center to get CERVARIX.)

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.
