Method of Administration

  • Parenteral drug products should be inspected visually for particulate matter and discoloration prior to administration, whenever solution and container permit. Do not use the product if particulates are present or if it appears discolored. After thorough agitation, GARDASIL 9 is a white cloudy liquid.

Single-Dose Vial Use

Withdraw the 0.5-mL dose of vaccine from the single-dose vial using a sterile needle and syringe and use promptly. Discard vial after use.

Prefilled Syringe Use

This package does not contain a needle. Shake well before use. Attach a needle by twisting in a clockwise direction until the needle fits securely on the syringe. Administer the entire dose as per standard protocol. Discard syringe after use.

Administration of GARDASIL 9 in Individuals Who Have Been Previously Vaccinated with GARDASIL®

Safety and immunogenicity were assessed in individuals who completed a three-dose vaccination series with GARDASIL 9 and had previously completed a three-dose vaccination series with GARDASIL [see Adverse Reactions (6.1) and Clinical Studies (14.6)]. Studies using a mixed regimen of HPV vaccines to assess interchangeability were not performed for GARDASIL 9.
