Patient's question:
Female, 29 years old. Under my mother's insistence, I got the cervical cancer vaccine. I just finished getting the first shot. Question: Do I need to test for HPV antibodies?Doctor's answer:
Vaccinating with HPV vaccine can effectively prevent the recurrence of cervical cancer, but some people have always held some misconceptions about HPV vaccine. They believe that as long as they complete the three doses of HPV vaccine, they can rest easy. However, the fact is that for some reasons, HPV vaccination may not take effect after completing the vaccine. Therefore, HPV requires antibody testing, and it is best to have it tested immediately after vaccination. During the vaccination period, it is also important to avoid fatigue and maintain good hygiene at all times.
