WARTS OR CRABS VARIANTS
There are three types of HPV vaccines available in Canada and approved by Health Canada: Gardasil, Cervarix, and Gardasil 9. The Gardasil 9 vaccine (HPV9) helps prevent against diseases associated with nine HPV types that are known to cause approximately 90 per cent of cervical cancers, 80 per cent of cervical precancers, 75 per cent of HPV-related vulvar, vaginal and anal cancers and precancers, and over 90 per cent of genital warts.
========================
STDs That Don't Have a Vaccine
HPV, hepatitis A, and hepatitis B are currently the only three STDs that can be prevented by vaccines before transmission. Other sexually transmitted diseases, including gonorrhea, chlamydia, PID, chanchoid, trichomoniasis and syphilis, do not yet have a vaccine. This could be because there is already wide availability of treatments for infected people (like antibiotics), so vaccines haven't been as much of a priority as they might be for other diseases not easily treated. However, humans are becoming so resistant to certain diseases, like gonorrhea, that vaccines might be available in the future. There are already other STD vaccines that are in development, too. For instance, science has been experimenting with a genital herpes vaccine since the 1930s. However, none of the vaccinations developed have yet been found to work well enough to be approved and licensed.
