Gardasil, the new Human Papilloma Virus vaccine approved for use in women aged 9 -26 years, in recent studies has been found to effective in women older than 27 years. It is effective up to age 45 years. I have had many of my older patients inquiring about the use of the Gardasil vaccine in older women. This is good news for those older women who are not already infected by the Human Papilloma Virus.
