In the past January, it was cervical cancer publicity month. The slogan of the Centers for Disease Control and prevention of the United States was: no woman should die of cervical cancer. After all, cervical cancer is the only preventable cancer of known etiology. As long as cervical cancer vaccine, regular screening, can effectively prevent cervical cancer. And cervical cancer is a very important problem threatening women's health, so where can we get cervical cancer vaccine in China? What are the precautions for vaccination?
How much does cervical cancer vaccine cost
At the end of October last year, bivalent cervical cancer vaccine for women aged 9-25 was officially launched in Guangzhou and Shenzhen. In 2018, the tetravalent cervical cancer vaccine with wider age coverage was officially launched in Guangdong Province. After new year's day, the first batch of jiadaxiu four valent cervical cancer vaccine produced by Merck east company in all cities, districts and counties of Guangdong Province has arrived one after another, with three injections and a price of 2500 yuan.
In principle, HPV vaccine should be injected three times within six months. The specific operation is: after the injection for the first time, the second time after 3 months, and then the third time after 3 months.
Cervical cancer vaccine is not lifelong immunity
However, don't think the vaccine will make you immune to cervical cancer for life. If vaccinated with this type of vaccine, it will produce antibodies against this subtype, which should be said to be lifelong immunity. But there are more than 100 types of HPV (human papillomavirus) and more than 30 high-risk types. It's not that we have vaccines for so many types and subtypes of viruses. Bivalent, tetravalent and even nine valent vaccines are targeted at those fixed subtypes, and many other subtypes are not vaccinated.
Although vaccination is an effective means to prevent and treat cervical cancer, HPV vaccine can only prevent several common HPV viruses, and the focus should be on cervical cancer screening. Women should have regular cervical smears after the age of 21, whether they are vaccinated or not. For people aged 30 and above, cervical smear and HPV test are recommended. Only regular physical examination, can early detection and early treatment be achieved.
Before the injection of cervical cancer vaccine, in addition to cervical exfoliative cytology screening and HPV screening, we should also pay attention to which patients are suitable or not suitable for the fight. Some patients with contraindications, such as allergic constitution, immune system diseases, fever and pregnancy, are not suitable for injection.
Warm tips: if women have non menstrual vaginal bleeding or bleeding after sex, abnormal vaginal secretions, lower abdominal pain and frequent urination, urgency and blood, it is an early symptom of cervical cancer, and it is recommended to go to the hospital to exclude the possibility of cervical cancer.
