How Does Cervarix Work?Cervarix stimulates the body's immune system to develop protection against Human Papillomavirus (HPV) types 16 and 18. By using recombinant proteins and the AS04 adjuvant, the vaccine triggers an immune response, helping prevent the onset of cervical cancer and related lesions linked to these high-risk HPV types.
Usage and Dosage InformationCervarix should be administered as an intramuscular injection, preferably in the deltoid muscle of the upper arm. The exact dosage and schedule are determined by a physician. It is important to complete the full vaccination course for optimal protection.
