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 it can be given after giving birth.Doctor's answer:
Unmarried women with children (preferably aged ≤45) can also be vaccinated with HPV vaccine. Because although they may have had sexual activity, individuals may not have been exposed to HPV; even if they have already been infected with HPV, since there are 13 high-risk types of HPV, individuals may not have been exposed to the types contained in the HPV vaccine. They can still prevent new infections or persistent infections with the types contained in the HPV vaccine, thereby reducing the recurrence of cervical cancer caused by persistent infections.
