HPV2 (Cervarix) provides protection against HPV types 16 and 18, which account for 70% of all cervical cancers, and have been shown to be both clinically- and cost-effective in the local setting. It is registered for use for females.
HPV9 vaccination (Gardasil 9) provides protection against an additional 20% of cancer-causing HPV types. It is registered for use for both females and males.
Subsidies are not available for HPV9 (Gardasil 9).
