MYTH
The HPV vaccine is a powerful tool against cervical cancer—but it does not protect against all cancer-causing HPV types, and it does not treat infections acquired before vaccination.
In Guyana, Gardasil 9 is currently available. In earlier years, Gardasil 4 was used.
While both vaccines offer excellent protection, neither covers all HPV types that can cause cervical cancer.
That’s why screening still matters.
Pap smears and HPV testing detect early cell changes before cancer develops.
Vaccination + Screening = Best Protection
Together, they can prevent most cases of cervical cancer.
Protect yourself. Get screened. Encourage another woman today.
