Laura Brennan, a human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine advocate and cervical cancer casualty, was diagnosed with HPV-16-associated cervical cancer at age 24. In 2018, U.S. health officials extended the allowable age for the HPV vaccine to 45. Determine which patients will have the greatest chance of protection from the Gardasil vaccine, which prevents infections of nine strains of HPV including HPV-16 and HPV-18 and five additional types of cancer-causing HPV as well as strains HPV-6 and HPV-11 that cause genital warts. Recall that vaccines train the body's immune system to recognize a particular infection (see figure). Disease Antibodies organisms Antibodies Vaccine Vaccine A vaccine with an The vaccine stimulates When the individual is exposed to the virus after vaccination, the new antibodies are primed to attack the invader. inactive form or harm- less amount of a virus the immune system to produce antibodies (in green) that recognize (or other organism) is injected under the skin. the virus. Now, rank the following female patients, starting with the female that would be protected against the greatest number of HPV strains in the future down to the female that would receive protection against the fewest strains.
