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 long can the HPV vaccine be stored in the refrigerator?Doctor's answer:
All vaccines should be stored under 2 ~ 8°C conditions and cannot be refrigerated. HPV vaccines taken out of the refrigerator should be vaccinated immediately. However, it has been proven that HPV2 vaccine remains stable when stored outside the refrigerator at 8 ~ 25°C for 3 days and at 25 ~ 37°C for 1 day. Under proper storage conditions, the shelf life of different types of vaccines varies, and the vaccine packaging label can only specify one storage temperature and validity period.
