Cervical cancer quadrivalent vaccine

Nowadays, people are given preventive vaccines for some major diseases. For example, cervical cancer is a common gynecological cancer. Women can take some preventive measures, but the most important thing is to pay attention to personal hygiene. Of course, with the advancement of social medicine, cervical cancer vaccines have appeared. So what is the quadrivalent cervical cancer vaccine?

Cervical cancer vaccines are divided into bivalent, quadrivalent and nonavalent vaccines. The quadrivalent vaccine is a vaccine that can prevent HPV types 16 and 18 and two other low-risk viruses.

Cause Analysis

The main cause of cervical cancer is infection with the HPV virus, and the HPV vaccine can effectively prevent viral infection and is the main method to prevent cervical cancer.

Suggested actions

First, the incidence of cervical cancer is getting higher and higher, and it is recommended that every woman get vaccinated against cervical cancer.

Second, it is recommended to directly receive the HPV 9-valent vaccine, which can prevent more types of viruses and has a higher cost-effectiveness.

3. Cervical cancer vaccination is generally divided into three times, and all three vaccinations must be completed within the specified time.

Regarding the topic of the second dose of the quadrivalent cervical cancer vaccine, first of all, we need to know that the full name of the commercially available cervical cancer vaccine is the quadrivalent human papillomavirus vaccine. This vaccine is imported from the United States and is suitable for women aged 20 to 45. The entire immunization process requires three shots. How long should the interval be between the second dose of the quadrivalent cervical cancer vaccine? Generally speaking, the recommended intervals for vaccination are the 0th month, the second month, and the sixth month, which means that the second shot is recommended to be given two months after the first shot. Therefore, it is not recommended to rush to get the second shot in the next month or in the same month after receiving the first shot, as this may affect the effectiveness of the vaccine.

So what are the contraindications for quadrivalent cervical vaccination?

First of all, women who are planning to become pregnant within one year or women who are pregnant are not recommended to get vaccinated immediately. At the same time, women who are allergic to the active ingredients of the vaccine or any auxiliary ingredients should not get vaccinated, so as to avoid allergic reactions after the vaccination, and ultimately cause adverse risks and damage. Therefore, before vaccination, you must clearly understand the contraindications and whether you are allergic to them. Do not get vaccinated without knowing anything.

Even if you have received the quadrivalent cervical cancer vaccine, you should not take it lightly. Women still need to undergo regular cervical cancer screening because if a woman has already developed lesions before receiving the vaccine, the vaccine will have no therapeutic effect. In summary, the quadrivalent cervical cancer vaccine can only prevent four types of HPV viruses, but it has no preventive effect on other types of HPV viruses.
