Which HPV type is NOT included in Gardasil's nine-valent vaccine coverage?

• A. 35
• B. 31
• C. 33
• D. 58

Answer: (A)

Gardasil 9 covers nine HPV types: 6, 11, 16, 18, 31, 33, 45, 52, and 58. These types include the main cancer-causing strains and those that cause warts. Among the options, 31, 33, and 58 are part of the vaccine, but 35 is not. So type 35 would not be covered by Gardasil 9. This shows that the vaccine reduces risk for cancers and warts caused by the included types, but it does not protect against HPV types outside that nine.
