Patient's question:
Female, 29 years old, I got the cervical cancer vaccine at my mother's request. I just finished getting the first shot. Please ask: What conditions must a woman meet to receive the HPV vaccine?Doctor's answer:
The HPV vaccine can effectively prevent cervical cancer. Getting vaccinated with the HPV vaccine can significantly reduce the risk of developing cervical cancer by approximately 65% to 70%. It is recommended that women aged between 12 and 26 years old consider getting vaccinated with the HPV vaccine, or ideally, before engaging in sexual activity again. In fact, children aged around 9 to 12 years old are still quite young, and at this stage, parents should consult with a doctor to discuss how suitable it is for their child to receive the HPV vaccine.
