A 19-year-old unmarried girl came to the gynae OPD for vaccination against cervical cancer. Which
vaccine will be administered to the client?

Correct option is A

· Gardasil: Gardasil is a vaccine that protects against the human papillomavirus (HPV), a primary cause of cervical cancer. It is recommended for females aged 9–26 years to prevent cervical, vaginal, and vulvar cancers. It is the correct vaccine for this client.
· TCV (Typhoid Conjugate Vaccine): This vaccine protects against typhoid fever and is unrelated to cervical cancer prevention.
· Bexsero: Bexsero is a vaccine for meningococcal disease caused by Neisseria meningitidis serogroup B. It has no role in preventing cervical cancer.
· HBV (Hepatitis B Vaccine): The HBV vaccine protects against hepatitis B, a liver infection, and does not prevent cervical cancer.

Additional Information:
· HBV - against hepatitis -B vaccine - as soon as after birth
· Bexsero - against meningococcal infection - should be given before 2 months of age
· TCV - against typhoid - given any time after 2 years
