“I’m going to get the nine-valent HPV vaccine tomorrow, I’m so excited! But what do I need to pay attention to after the vaccination?”
I believe this is a question that many women are concerned about before they go for the nine-valent HPV vaccine, and today we’ll talk about those things that need to be taken care of after the nine-valent vaccine!
After the nine-valent HPV vaccine, these 5 things should be done!
1. Strictly observe for 15-30 minutes and pay attention to any abnormalities
The vaccinees need to stay strictly for 15-30 minutes to prevent adverse reactions such as allergy, fever, nausea, etc. Common adverse reactions at the vaccination site include local pain, swelling, erythema, fever, itching, hard nodules, etc. These symptoms are normal and can generally subside on their own, so vaccinated friends should not worry too much. If there are other abnormalities in the body and the symptoms continue to worsen, you should promptly inform your doctor and seek immediate medical attention.
2. You should pay attention to your diet and prohibit drinking alcohol for 24 hours after vaccination.
After the vaccination, it is best not to smoke and drink alcohol for a week, and alcohol must be banned 24 hours after vaccination, and spicy and stimulating food and seafood should be avoided in the diet. You should follow the principle of eating less and more meals, eat a light diet, and usually eat more fruits and vegetables rich in vitamins, which can be more conducive to health.
3, contraceptive measures should be done, do not get pregnant during the vaccination
Pregnant women or women who plan to get pregnant are not suitable for cervical cancer vaccination. Therefore, women must take good contraceptive measures and do not get pregnant during the cervical cancer injection. If they are inadvertently pregnant during the six-month period of the injection, they should tell the doctor in time and delay the vaccination and wait until the breastfeeding period is over before the rest of the vaccine can be injected, which is mainly for the safety of pregnant women and the safety of the fetus.
4. Pay attention to personal hygiene and do not touch water at the vaccination site
After receiving the nine-valent HPV vaccine, remember to drink more water and not to take a shower for three days, and the injection site should not be touched by water, let alone rubbed. Also pay attention to changing clothes regularly to avoid bacterial infection at the injection site.
5. Do not lift heavy objects, get enough sleep and be in a good mood
Women should not lift heavy objects for a period of time after the nine-valent HPV vaccination to avoid muscle soreness in the vaccinated arm. Also, pay more attention to your body, get more rest and ensure sufficient sleep. Keep your emotions stable, don’t get too excited, and be physically and mentally happy to have a positive effect on your health.
Finally, I would also like to remind all women who have been vaccinated that they must remember the next vaccination time, and it is recommended that without special circumstances it is best to be vaccinated on time, and that the vaccination time for all vaccines should be controlled within one year as much as possible!
