What should I do if an unexpected pregnancy occurs during the vaccination process of the nine-valent vaccine?

Although there is currently no data to suggest that the nine-valent HPV vaccine is harmful to the baby in the womb, pregnancy itself is more sensitive and the vaccine should not be given casually.

Therefore, pregnancy should be avoided during the period of receiving the nine-valent HPV vaccine, and pregnant women should avoid vaccination and wait until the baby is born to receive the nine-valent HPV vaccine. If you are found to be pregnant during the vaccination of the nine-valent HPV vaccine, you should stop the subsequent injections and wait until the postpartum period is over before continuing the vaccination.

Regarding whether the nine-valent vaccine will have an impact on the baby, everyone does not need to worry.

While preventing cervical cancer, the nine-valent HPV vaccine also ensures women's reproductive health.

In general, if you become pregnant during the nine-valent vaccine vaccination process, you should stop the next nine-valent vaccine injection and wait until you are past the breastfeeding period before continuing the vaccination.
