There are over 100 types of human papillomavirus (HPV), with some high-risk types causing cervical cancer and other cancers and diseases. Two HPV vaccines, Gardasil and Cervarix, protect against high-risk HPV types 16 and 18, which cause 70% of cervical cancers. Gardasil also protects against low-risk types 6 and 11, which cause 90% of genital warts. The vaccines are recommended for females ages 11-26 and males ages 11-26, with a 3 dose schedule, to protect against HPV infections and related diseases. Cervical cancer screening is still important for vaccinated females due to other high-risk HPV types not covered by the vaccines.
