Patient's question:
Female, 24 years old. I heard from a friend that the incidence of cervical cancer is particularly high now, and if you get vaccinated, you can prevent it. Can the HPV vaccine be taken on an empty stomach?Doctor's answer:
The main transmission route of HPV is sexual transmission. It not only causes sexually transmitted diseases but also increases the incidence of cervical cancer. Currently, the age range for HPV vaccination has been raised to 45 years old. HPV vaccine has been proven through large-scale clinical diagnostic trials to be highly effective in protecting women aged 24-45.Anesthesia for HPV vaccination does not require fasting, nor does it require a health check. However, individuals with allergies to vaccine components, such as those allergic to yeast, protein, or milk, should not receive the vaccine. Additionally, individuals with a fever on the day of vaccination should also avoid it.
