Comprehensive Drug Guide
How Does Gardasil 9 Work?
Gardasil 9 works by stimulating the immune system to produce antibodies against specific HPV types. It contains non-infectious virus-like particles (VLPs) that mimic the structure of HPV, allowing the immune system to recognize and attack the virus if exposed in the future. By generating an immune response, the vaccine helps prevent the development of HPV-related cancers and diseases.
