Patient's question:
Female, 24 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. May I ask if it's okay to get the HPV vaccine a few days late?Doctor's answer:
HPV vaccine, commonly known as cervical cancer vaccine, requires three shots to be completed successfully within six months, with anesthesia administered at 0/2/6 months. In other words, the second shot can be scheduled at any time for anesthesia, the third shot two months after the second, and the second shot six months after the first. The third shot for HPV vaccine can be delayed for anesthesia, but the delay should not be too long, generally about two weeks. However, it is best to vaccinate on schedule to avoid interfering with the final effect.
