Can I get the 9-valent vaccine with endocrine disorders?

Generally, if the symptoms of endocrine disorder are mild, receiving the HPV 9-valent vaccine is usually acceptable. However, if symptoms of endocrine disorder are severe or accompanied by conditions such as immunosuppression, vaccination might require caution or should be postponed. If any abnormalities occur, timely medical consultation is recommended. Detailed explanations are as follows:

When symptoms of endocrine disorder are mild, such as slight menstrual irregularities or mood swings, and no severe complications are present, receiving the HPV 9-valent vaccine is generally acceptable. The HPV 9-valent vaccine is primarily used to prevent HPV virus infection, thereby preventing diseases such as cervical cancer. Therefore, in general, endocrine disorders do not affect the efficacy or safety of the HPV 9-valent vaccine.

If symptoms of endocrine disorder are severe, such as dysmenorrhea, excessive or scanty menstruation, and are accompanied by immunosuppression, fever, or other severe complications, then caution should be exercised or vaccination postponed. Severe endocrine disorders may affect immune system function, potentially reducing the vaccine's protective efficacy or increasing the risk of adverse reactions.

Patients with endocrine disorders should truthfully inform the doctor of their health status and medication history before receiving the HPV 9-valent vaccine, so that the doctor can make an accurate assessment and recommendation. After vaccination, individuals should closely monitor their physical response and seek timely medical attention if any abnormalities occur.
