Gardasil is the HPV vaccine procured by the HSE for use in the current HPV school vaccination programme. Prior to the first dose of the vaccine being administered, all parents/guardians are given an information leaflet and consent form. These are also available on the HSE website. The leaflet contains information about the virus and its transmission, cervical cancer, the vaccine, its benefits and possible side effects, and the vaccination programme.
