You can’t get the HPV vaccine at age 46 because the age range for the HPV vaccine is up to 45 years old.
HPV is the full name of the human papillomavirus, which is associated with the development of cervical cancer, and the HPV vaccine is a means of preventing HPV infection and reducing the incidence of cervical cancer.
The HPV vaccine is categorized into bivalent, quadrivalent and Septavalent vaccines. The bivalent vaccine is suitable for ages 9 to 45, and the quadrivalent vaccine is suitable for ages 20 to 45. The nine-valent vaccine is suitable for ages 16 to 26. There is no vaccine on the market that is suitable for people aged 46 and above.
It is recommended that women aged 46 years old should be screened for cervical cancer once a year, as early detection of early cervical cancer and pre-cancerous lesions can also be achieved through disease screening.
