Speaking of the HPV vaccine, last month the FDA approved the 9-valent HPV vaccine. It includes the original 4 HPV types (6, 11, 16, & 18) in the quadrivalent, plus an additional 5 HPV types (31, 33, 45, 52, & 58). The new 9-valent has the potential to prevent approximately 90% of cervical, vulvar, vaginal and anal cancers.
