Can I eat breakfast before getting the HPV-9 vaccine?

It is generally acceptable to eat breakfast before receiving the 9-valent vaccine.

The 9-valent vaccine is designed to prevent infection with human papillomavirus (HPV). It contains antigens that protect against nine high-risk HPV types, including those primarily responsible for cervical cancer and several other cancers. There is no direct connection between receiving the 9-valent vaccine and eating breakfast; whether or not one eats breakfast prior to vaccination does not affect the vaccine's efficacy or safety. Therefore, eating breakfast beforehand is usually fine. In particular, for female patients who naturally have low blood sugar levels, skipping breakfast before vaccination may lead to symptoms such as dizziness or nausea.

In addition, if a patient has specific medical conditions or known allergies to any vaccine components, it is essential to consult a doctor before vaccination.
