How many shots of the nine-valent vaccine are needed

The 9-valent cervical cancer vaccine has been sold in Hong Kong, China, but it has not yet been sold in mainland China. Therefore, many domestic women who want to get the 9-valent vaccine will choose to go to Hong Kong for vaccination. So how many shots of this 9-valent vaccine are needed? How long should each shot be given? Women who want to get the 9-valent vaccine must understand it clearly to avoid affecting the effect due to insufficient injections or incorrect timing. Let's learn about the knowledge about how many shots of the 9-valent vaccine are needed.

1. How many shots of the 9-valent cervical cancer vaccine are needed?

The 9-valent cervical cancer vaccine requires three shots. Missing one shot will affect the effect, and all three shots must be injected in Hong Kong, so you need to arrange your time well. If you bring it from Hong Kong to China for vaccination, it will not be good, because the cervical cancer vaccine is a specific virus sterilization, and the transportation of such medical equipment is very demanding. It must meet special transportation and storage standards, and I cannot meet such standards. In addition, Chinese customs does not allow vaccines to be brought into the country, so all three shots must be scheduled in Hong Kong.

2. How long should the nine-valent vaccine be given between injections?

Due to the urgent shortage of the nine-valent HPV vaccine in Hong Kong, many clinics have changed the injection schedule of the nine-valent HPV vaccine. Previously, the injection schedule for three injections was 0-2-6, but later it was changed to 0-4-8. Some clinics have even changed the injection schedule of the nine-valent vaccine to 0-8-11. An injection schedule like 0, 2, 6 means that the first injection is given on a date chosen by the doctor and the injector, and the second injection is given two months after the first injection. The third injection is given six months after the first injection. The injection time intervals of 0, 4, and 8 are the same. The date of the first injection is chosen by the doctor and the injector. The second injection is given 4 months after the first injection, and the third injection is given 8 months after the first injection.

The above is the knowledge about the injection of the nine-valent cervical cancer vaccine. It can be seen that it requires a total of three injections, and there is a certain time interval. Women who are preparing to get the nine-valent vaccine must understand it clearly and arrange their time scientifically to ensure the effectiveness of the vaccine. Of course, even if the cervical cancer vaccine is injected, women still need to do regular cervical cancer screening on a regular basis, so as to better ensure their health.
