#Does the HPV vaccine play a big role#
I am Doctor Shi Jinhuan of Beijing Traditional Chinese Medicine. First of all, the HPV vaccine The role is great, which is understandable. HPV vaccine is currently the best way to prevent HPV infection and cervical cancer. We all recommend HPV vaccine before sexual life. At this time, the effect of HPV vaccine is the best.
Many women who have been infected with HPV vaccine also have the same question. I have been vaccinated against HPV, why am I still infected with HPV, does it mean that the HPV vaccine is ineffective? Here I tell my female friends, that’s not what I said, I’m still infected after getting the HPV vaccine. This is because the subtypes covered by the HPV vaccine are still limited, and there are more than 200 HPV subtypes that we know.
For example, if you have a bivalent HPV vaccine, it can help you protect against HPV infection of two high-risk subtypes like 16 and 18, but it cannot help you Protects against other subtypes of HPV infection. However, international research data shows that more than 70% of cervical cancers are caused by these two viruses16, 18. The bivalent and quadrivalent vaccines marketed in China can prevent and control 84.5% of the risk of cervical cancer. Therefore, it is said that the effect of HPV vaccine is too great, and it is recommended that women who can be vaccinated should go for it.
