Precaution

Because vaccinees may develop syncope, sometimes resulting in falling with injury, observation for 15 minutes after administration is recommended. Syncope, sometimes associated with tonic-clonic movements and other seizure-like activity, has been reported following vaccination with Human Papillomavirus Quadrivalent. When syncope is associated with tonic-clonic movements, the activity is usually transient and typically responds to restoring cerebral perfusion by maintaining a supine or Trendelenburg position.

Interaction

Immunosuppressive therapies, including irradiation, antimetabolites, alkylating agents, cytotoxic drugs, and corticosteroids (used in greater than physiologic doses), may reduce the immune responses to vaccines.

Pregnancy & Breastfeeding use

Pregnancy Category B. Reproduction studies have been performed in female rats at doses equivalent to the recommended human dose and have revealed no evidence of impaired female fertility or harm to the fetus due to Human Papillomavirus Quadrivalent. There are, however, no adequate and well-controlled studies in pregnant women. Because animal reproduction studies are not always predictive of human responses, Human Papillomavirus Quadrivalent should be used during pregnancy only if clearly needed. It is not known whether Human Papillomavirus Quadrivalent is excreted in human milk. Because many drugs are excreted in human milk, caution should be exercised when Human Papillomavirus Quadrivalent is administered to a nursing woman.

Contraindication

Hypersensitivity, including severe allergic reactions to yeast (a vaccine component), or after a previous dose of Human Papillomavirus Quadrivalent.
