Patient's question:
Female, 29 years old, I got the cervical cancer vaccine at my mother's request. I just finished getting the first shot. Please ask: How often do you need to get the HPV vaccine, and how long should you wait between shots?Doctor's answer:
Regarding the bivalent and quadrivalent vaccines, the recommended vaccination schedule involves two doses administered with an interval of 6 months for girls under the age of 15 (including those who turn 15 or older during the second dose). It is advised that the maximum interval should not exceed 12-15 months to ensure the vaccination program is completed early before the onset of sexual activity. The HPV cervical cancer vaccine requires three doses to be administered within 6 months (6 months). It is not advisable to decide to extend the vaccination period after completing three doses within 6 months (6 months), as this would indicate that completing three doses within 6 months (6 months) yields the best results.
