In the past one to two years, the 9-valent HPV vaccine has consistently been a hot topic. Many women choose to receive this vaccine. I would like to ask the doctor: which populations are suitable for receiving the 9-valent HPV vaccine?
Doctor's answer (1)
Dr. Zhao Xiaodong
The 9-valent HPV vaccine is primarily suitable for women aged 9 to 45 and can effectively prevent diseases such as cervical cancer, vulvar cancer, vaginal cancer, and genital warts.
It can prevent seven high-risk viral types: HPV 16, 18, 31, 33, 45, 52, and 58, as well as two low-risk viral types: HPV 6 and 11. High-risk types are associated with serious conditions such as cervical cancer and anal cancer.
A health assessment should be conducted before vaccination to ensure there are no contraindications, such as allergies to vaccine components. Additionally, regular health check-ups are still necessary after vaccination.
