The '''HPV vaccine''' is a [[vaccine]] designed to prevent infection by one or more strains of [[human papillomavirus]].

The HPV vaccine protects against types 6, 11, 16 and 18 of the human papillomavirus (HPV), which are sexually transmitted diseases.  These strains of HPV have been associated with 70% of cervical cancer cases and may also play a role in the development of other types of cancer <ref>[http://www.cancer.gov/cancertopics/factsheet/Risk/HPV]</ref>. In June 2006, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration approved the first HPV vaccine based on observance of elevated [[antibody]] levels in a few thousand patients who had received the vaccine (including perhaps only a few hundred or less young girls).
