Patient's question:
I have been anemic for several years, but since it's not severe, I haven't received special treatment. Recently, I booked an HPV vaccine at the hospital and can get it administered in a couple of days. I'm worried that my anemia might make me unsuitable for the vaccine, or that I might experience side effects after getting it. I came here for help: can people with anemia get vaccinated?Doctor's answer:
The key is to look at the type of anemia. If it is a common type of anemia, such as iron deficiency anemia or hemorrhagic anemia, it is possible to receive the HPV vaccine, and it will never have any adverse effects on the body. However, if it is hemolytic anemia or aplastic anemia, it is best to avoid the anesthetic vaccine. These diseases are primarily related to the immune system of the body, and the anesthetic vaccine also promotes the body to produce antibodies, so it may potentially worsen the symptoms of the disease.
