Hypersensitivity to quadrivalent human papillomavirus (types 6, 11, 16, 18) or to any other excipients of Gardasil.
Individuals who develop symptoms indicative of hypersensitivity after receiving a dose of Gardasil should not receive further doses of Gardasil.
Administration of Gardasil should be postponed in subjects suffering from an acute severe febrile illness. However, the presence of a minor infection eg, a mild upper respiratory tract infection or low-grade fever, is not a contraindication of immunization.
