Merck has released their new vaccine for protection against HPV.  Gardasil 9 is indicated for girls and women ages 9- 26 years of age for prevention of cervical, vulvar, vaginal, anal cancer and pre-cancerous or lesions caused by HPV types 16, 18,31,33,45,52 and 58 and Genital warts caused by HPV types 6 and 11.

Gardasil 9 is also indicated for boys ages 9-15 years of age for prevention against anal cancer and precancerous or lesions caused by HPV types 16,18, 31,33,45,52 and 58 and genital warts caused by HPV types 6 and 11.
