Dear chelsea,

There’s no problem continuing your course of Gardasil. Remember, it will also protect you from the cancer-associated HPVs that can lead to cervical cancer, not just the ones that cause genital warts. So I think it’s a good idea to get your 2nd and 3rd shots of Gardasil to protect you from cancer.
