Patient's question:
Female, 30 years old, got the cervical cancer vaccine with friends. She is not very familiar with this vaccine, so she wants to ask if the HPV vaccine requires an empty stomach.Doctor's answer:
The target recipients for the bivalent HPV vaccine are females aged 9-25, and for the quadrivalent vaccine, it is females aged 20-45. Neither vaccine is intended for use in females outside the specified age range. It is acceptable to eat breakfast before receiving the HPV vaccine. Before vaccination, the recipient must inform the healthcare provider about their medical history, particularly any previous adverse reactions related to vaccination, such as fever or allergic reactions, to prevent potential adverse effects.
