Patient's question:
Female, 26 years old. I heard from a friend that the incidence of cervical cancer is particularly high now. If you get vaccinated, you can prevent it. So I got vaccinated, but there were some minor issues. Can the third HPV shot be given 3 days early?Doctor's answer:
The HPV vaccine is highly beneficial for women in preventing cervical cancer. It is recommended to choose a reputable hospital or institution to receive the vaccination. The anesthesia is typically administered through an intramuscular injection, which has almost no adverse effects on survival. A total of three shots are required, and it must be administered according to the prescribed schedule. Rest well and avoid overworking to prevent excessive fatigue. Avoid hot baths within 24 hours. If mild discomfort, nausea, or dizziness occurs again, there is no need to worry, as these are normal reactions.
