Can I still receive the 9-valent HPV vaccine after getting married?
I recently want to get the 9-valent HPV vaccine, but I'm worried about possible eligibility restrictions. I'd like to ask if someone who has never had sexual intercourse can receive the 9-valent HPV vaccine?

The primary purpose of administering the 9-valent HPV vaccine is to prevent cervical cancer and other related cancers caused by human papillomavirus. Regardless of whether it is administered before or after the initiation of sexual activity, the 9-valent HPV vaccine offers protective benefits to all eligible individuals. The recommended age for vaccination is from 9 to 45 years. Therefore, women who are married can also receive the 9-valent HPV vaccine.
As long as the individual is of appropriate age and has no contraindications, regardless of sexual history, they can receive the 9-valent HPV vaccine. However, women who have had sexual experiences are advised to undergo HPV screening before vaccination. Nevertheless, pregnancy, lactation, severe immunological disorders, or allergic reactions are contraindications for vaccination. Please consult a physician before receiving the vaccine.
