The gardasil vaccination is now available on request for males aged between 9 and 26yrs. This vaccine helps in the prevention of external genital lesions and infection caused by Human Papillomavirus (HPV). In a worldwide multicentre clinical trial in over 4,000 males aged 16 through to 26, the efficacy of GARDASIL against HPV external genital lesions was 90.4%.
This is why it is important to see you doctor about this vaccine and get a script today. Please note this is not a government funded program. |




Human papillomavirus or HPV is a virus you may not know too much about—but you should. HPV will affect an estimated 75% to 80% of males and females in their lifetime. For most, HPV clears on its own. But, for others who don’t clear certain types, HPV could cause significant consequences: cervical, vaginal, and vulvar cancers in females. Other types could cause genital warts in both males and females. And there’s no way to predict who will or won’t clear the virus.
