How much does the bivalent HPV vaccine cost

Nowadays, many women attach great importance to the prevention of cervical cancer. It is said that there is a bivalent vaccine that can prevent cervical cancer. However, there is little knowledge about the actual relevant content, so before getting this vaccine, it is important to know more about it. Below we will discuss the common problems with the bivalent vaccine.

The bivalent HPV vaccine protects against HPV types 16 and 18, which prevent cervical cancer. In clinical medicine, 70% of cervical cancer is caused by HPV types 16 and 18, so the injection of bivalent vaccine can prevent 70% of cervical cancer. This vaccine needs to be administered three times. Each vaccination needs to be given one month later, and the third vaccination should be given half a year later.

The bivalent vaccine is for people aged 9-26 years old. This type of vaccine needs to be administered before sexual intercourse, but it does not mean that you cannot get the vaccine if you have sexual intercourse. If you have been infected with other types of viruses, you can also get vaccinated if you are of appropriate age.

The following aspects should be paid attention to when administering the bivalent vaccine:

1. You are not allowed to drink alcohol or smoke within one month after the vaccination. In addition, you should not eat spicy food or cold food, and you should eat less pickled food. You can eat more foods with higher nutritional value, such as milk, meat, and beans.

2. Pay attention to contraceptive methods. If you are pregnant, tell your doctor not to get vaccinated again. Wait until after giving birth before getting vaccinated again.

3. After vaccination, you should pay attention to rest, keep in a good mood, and ensure good sleep quality.

HPV is the English abbreviation for human papillomavirus. There are many subtypes of human papillomavirus infection, among which types 16 and 18 are high-risk types and are associated with the occurrence of cervical cancer in women.

The key to the bivalent HPV vaccine is to prevent two types of infection: HPV16 and 18. Generally, you should get a check before getting the vaccine. If you have already been infected with these two types of HPV viruses, then there is no point in getting the vaccine.

The price of a general vaccine shot is around 500 to 800 yuan. But generally three shots are required, that is, one shot for the first time, the second shot after one month, and the third shot after five months. This completes the vaccination process.

So all together, it will cost about 2,000 yuan.
