How can you know if you have generated antibodies after getting the HPV vaccine?

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. How can I know if I have generated antibodies after getting the HPV vaccine?

Doctor's answer:

Since the antibody index is relatively high within two years after vaccination, it is still possible to undergo an HPV vaccine antibody test after receiving the HPV vaccine. This test helps determine how antibodies are produced. After completing the second dose, you can have a blood test for HPV16 antibody testing on the same day. Additionally, you can undergo an HPV16 antibody test within two years of taking medication to ensure you have sufficient protection. For antibody testing, some disease control centers and hospitals in China now offer this service. You can consult with them for more information.
