The free vaccine variety is domestic bivalent HPV vaccine, and the recipient does not bear any expenses.

Cervical cancer is the only cancer type that can be prevented by vaccination. 99.7% of cervical cancer is caused by persistent infection of high-risk HPV virus.

The age of HPV infection among ordinary women in China is characterized by "double peaks";

That is, 17-24 years old and 40-44 years old are the two peak ages of HPV infection among Chinese women, and the first peak of infection appears at 17-24 years old, suggesting that HPV vaccine should be vaccinated as soon as possible.

Teenagers are the primary target of HPV vaccine.

The 2017 WHO position paper suggests that:

To prevent cervical cancer, it is suggested that the primary vaccination target of HPV vaccine is girls aged 9-14 who have not had sex;

At present, the recommended age range of HPV vaccination in China is 9-45 years old women, with emphasis on 13-15 years old girls.

Questions and answers on common vaccination of HPV vaccine

one

What are the HPV vaccines currently on the market?

There are more than 200 genotypes of HPV, which can be divided into high-risk and low-risk types according to their potential to induce cancer. At present, 12 types of HPV (16/18/31/33/35/39/45/51/52/56/58/59) are defined as high-risk (carcinogenic) types, among which HPV16 and 18 have the highest carcinogenic risk.

At present, there are three types of HPV vaccines listed in China: bivalent, tetravalent and nonavalent HPV vaccines, of which four are used for women aged 9-45.

See the table below for details.

Different vaccines cover different HPV types, and multivalent HPV vaccines provide more protection for high-risk HPV types, and recipients can choose voluntarily and vaccinate at their own expense.

On January 9th, 2024, two doses of imported nine-valent HPV vaccine for 9-14-year-old women have been approved by National Medical Products Administration, China, and we will adjust the two doses of vaccination procedures for 9-14-year-old women according to relevant documents.

How safe is HPV vaccine?

Since the cervical cancer vaccine was launched in the world in 2006, HPV vaccine has been approved for use in more than 130 countries (regions), among which 110 countries (regions) have included HPV vaccine in the national immunization plan, and the cumulative vaccination has exceeded 300 million doses.

HPV vaccine has been used in our city since 2017, and no serious adverse reactions have been reported in the monitoring data, mainly local reactions of redness, swelling and pain, but very few allergic reactions are not excluded.

Most acute allergic reactions occur within 30 minutes after inoculation. To ensure safety, you must stay at the inoculation site for 30 minutes after inoculation, and you can leave only after there is no abnormality.

What conditions are not suitable for HPV vaccination?

Those who have hypersensitivity to the active ingredients of the vaccine or any auxiliary ingredients.

Those who have had serious adverse reactions to vaccination.

Pregnant women.

Patients with thrombocytopenia or other coagulation disorders that may become contraindications for intramuscular injection.

Those who are suffering from fever, acute disease, acute attack of chronic disease, or uncontrolled patients with severe chronic diseases should be vaccinated after the disease is cured or stabilized.

Can I get HPV vaccine during menstrual period?

If there is no fever, infection, or severe menstrual discomfort, you can get HPV vaccine during menstruation.

five

How long is the protection period of HPV vaccine?

Do you need a booster shot?

At present, a number of research data show that HPV vaccine has a long-term protective effect, and repeated vaccination is not needed to enhance the immune effect.

six

After the second bid, can I bid another four or nine?

At present, there are very few research data about the safety and effectiveness of repeated vaccination of HPV vaccine from different manufacturers, so repeated vaccination is not recommended for the time being. The Advisory Committee on Vaccine Immunization Practice (ACIP) in the United States also clearly stated in the document on HPV vaccination that it is not recommended to vaccinate with nine-valent HPV vaccine after bivalent or tetravalent HPV vaccine.

seven

If you break one of the three stitches in the middle, do you want to start playing again?

The World Health Organization suggests that the HPV vaccine should be given three shots within six months, and the effect is the best.

But if there is a break in the middle, there is no need to restart the vaccination procedure, just finish the rest of the needles!

eight

Halfway through the vaccination procedure,

Can I replace vaccination with different types of HPV vaccine?

Substitution vaccination cannot be interchanged. Even if there are different types of HPV vaccines, you should use the same vaccine from the same manufacturer for each dose.

nine

Can HPV vaccine prevent cervical cancer 100%?

No vaccine can be guaranteed to be 100% effective. Due to physical condition, disease, family history and other factors, the protective effect of vaccine will vary from person to person.

Therefore, after HPV vaccination, it is still recommended that women who have sex after the age of 25 have regular cervical cancer screening.

10

After being infected with HPV, does HPV vaccine still have a protective effect?

Even if you have been infected with a certain type of HPV, you can still get other types of protection by taking HPV vaccine. Epidemiological data show that most HPV infected people in China are infected with a single type, so even if they are infected with HPV, they can still benefit from HPV vaccination.

In addition to the above-mentioned age-appropriate vaccinators,

How should other citizens make an appointment for HPV vaccination?
