What is the nine-valent vaccine? Why is it so hard to get a shot? Be sure to keep your eyes open when making an appointment! (Part 2)

In this issue, we will specifically talk about the relevant cervical cancer screening precautions and HPV vaccination anti-fraud guidelines, come and take a look!

Do I need to be screened for cervical cancer after getting the HPV vaccine?

Vaccination is primary prevention, and screening is secondary prevention. Both are equally important. HPV vaccines only target a few high-risk types, not all of them.

Even if you have received the HPV vaccine, it does not mean that you will not get cervical cancer in the future, but it just reduces the risk. Therefore, cervical cancer screening measures should not be relaxed because of vaccination.

An inventory of common tactics used by HPV vaccine scammers

Finally, it is also important to note that with the explosion of the topic #九价HPV技术代抢月赚十千#, a large number of scammers have taken advantage of the situation. HPV vaccine-related fraud incidents have occurred frequently, and some netizens were defrauded of tens of thousands of yuan and then blocked.

The Cyber ​​Security Bureau of the Ministry of Public Security has issued warnings many times. Based on this, let’s take stock of the common methods used by scammers:

#1

Online "booking appointments" and "booking appointments" are used by scammers to post eye-catching false information on various platforms, claiming to have appointments at hospitals and waiting for victims to contact them.

#2

"Refunds are available if the reservation is unsuccessful." Scammers will make a false promise of "refunds are available if the reservation is unsuccessful" to gain the victim's trust, and then falsely claim that the reservation has been completed after obtaining the victim's relevant information. After receiving the reservation fee, the scammer will send the victim a pre-edited reservation success text message, then provide a bank account number and urge the victim to pay the full amount.

In order to make it look more realistic, they will send the victims photos of themselves holding their ID cards or business licenses. Some even go so far as to provide fake appointment websites. The methods used are varied.

#3

"Second time scam". After the above scam is successfully implemented, the scammer will go even further, using excuses such as "the reservation order is frozen" to ask for another transfer, while emphasizing that time is tight and the vaccine is in short supply, leaving the victim no time to think. After receiving the money, the scammer has already disappeared without a trace.

So in addition to fighting as much as possible, everyone must also go through formal channels, keep their eyes open, and avoid being cheated!
