Floriva works by introducing parts of the HPV virus (called virus-like particles) into the body. These particles are not infectious but help the immune system recognize and attack the real virus if it enters later.

• When vaccinated, the body produces antibodies against HPV.

   

• These antibodies stay in the blood and protect against future HPV infections.

   

• The vaccine targets multiple HPV types responsible for most HPV-related cancers and genital warts.

   

This immune response reduces the risk of HPV infection and its complications.

Most people do not have serious problems after Floriva vaccination.
