How much does the HPV vaccine cost

The cervical cancer vaccine has been very popular recently. It can prevent the HPV (human papillomavirus infection) gene mutation in the body. This type of virus infection mainly has 4 gene mutations, 2 of which have a 75% chance of causing cervical cancer in women, and the other 2 gene mutations have a 50% chance of causing other urinary system diseases. How much does the HPV vaccine cost?

HPV vaccines currently mainly include bivalent HPV vaccine, quadrivalent HPV vaccine, and nine-valent HPV vaccine. HPV, also known as human papillomavirus, is a double-stranded DNA virus that mainly infects human skin and mucous membranes. HPV vaccine can continuously induce blood cell changes and produce high antigen levels, which can have a continuous protective effect.

The quadrivalent HPV vaccine can be used to prevent infection with HPV types 16, 18, 6, and 11. The nine-valent vaccine can be used to prevent infection with HPV types 6, 11, 16, 18, 31, 33, 45, 52, and 58. Both of these vaccines were developed by Merck.

There is also a bivalent vaccine developed by GlaxoSmithKline, which only protects against HPV16 and HPV18 virus infections. The bivalent vaccine requires a total of 3 doses, and the price is around 580 yuan each. The quadrivalent vaccine requires a total of 3 doses, and the price is around 823 yuan each. The nine-valent vaccine requires a total of 3 doses, and the price is around 1,323 yuan each.

Treatment recommendations:

Before women get vaccinated, they can undergo HPV clinical diagnostic genetic testing. Through the clinical diagnosis of HPV, the effects of different subtypes of HPV on the cervix can be fully considered.

HPV infection is the main cause of cervical cancer and precancerous lesions. Studies have found that HPV virus can be found in 99.7% of cervical cancer patients. Since the main cause of cervical cancer is human papillomavirus infection, vaccination is a very good method for prevention.

In the near future, cervical cancer is expected to become a malignant tumor that can be comprehensively prevented and completely eliminated by humans through vaccination.
