Cervarix is a vaccine against certain types of cancer-causing human papillomavirus (HPV).
Cervarix is designed to prevent infection from HPV types 16 and 18, that cause about 70% of cervical cancer cases.[6] These types also cause most HPV-induced genital and head and neck cancers. Additionally, some cross-reactive protection against virus strains 45 and 31 were shown in clinical trials.[7] Cervarix also contains AS04, a proprietary adjuvant that has been found to boost the immune system response for a longer period of time.[8]
Cervarix is manufactured by GlaxoSmithKline. An alternative product, from Merck & Co., is known as Gardasil.[6] Cervarix was voluntarily taken off of the market in the US in 2016 due to low demand.[9]
