About this trial
The goal of this study is to compare the immune response of the single dose of the CERVAVAC vaccine with the single dose of Gardasil vaccine in girls/women aged 9 to 20 and boys aged 9 to 14 at 6 months, 12 months and 24 months post vaccination. The vaccine will be given randomly to the boys and girls/women in these age group and they will be followed up to check the immune status developed in them after vaccination. The status of immune response developed by the two differnet vaccines will be compared in these group of participants of the study.
