The papillomavirus (human types 6, 11, 16, 18, 31, 33, 45, 52, 58) vaccine, also known as the nonavalent HPV vaccine (marketed as Gardasil 9), is a prophylactic vaccine designed to protect against infection caused by nine types of human papillomavirus associated with cervical, vulvar, vaginal, and anal cancers, as well as genital warts. It is widely approved and used for immunization to reduce HPV-related diseases globally.
No referenced publication is available reporting classic pharmacokinetic parameters for the nonavalent HPV vaccine, as it is a virus-like particle vaccine and not a small molecule drug. Vaccine pharmacokinetics are generally not quantified using typical PK parameters, as the vaccine induces an immune response rather than undergoing systemic distribution, metabolism, and excretion.
