Gardasil vaccine
Hi,
My siter is 39 years age and to prevent cervical cancer her gynae is giving her D
Gardasil vaccine.
Though I have listened that is beneficial if taken before 26years of age.
Kindly suggest if my sister has any benefit of taking this now at the age of 39 years
Thankyou !!

If yes, she should get herself tested for Torch group of infections, get a colposcopy and Pap smear done. If the report is negative then she should go for Gardasil vaccination.
