How much does the cervical vaccine cost?

  The price of the cervical vaccine varies according to the number of types of viral infections that can be prevented.  The cervical vaccine prevents human papillomavirus infection. After the human papillomavirus infection, the human body’s system of resistance to the virus is cellular immunity, which mainly acts locally on the cervix, producing a low level of antibodies that are not sufficient to fight against the re-infection of the virus. Vaccination is an intramuscular injection that triggers an effective immune response, producing antibodies that are sufficient to fight against the re-attack of the virus, thus preventing the infection.  The cervical vaccine is divided into bivalent, quadrivalent and nine-valent. The nine-valent vaccine is the most expensive, but it is the most comprehensive in preventing HPV infection and can prevent 90% of cervical cancers. It is suitable for women aged 16-26 years old and costs 1,900 yuan a piece and is administered three times at 0, 2 and 6 respectively. The quadrivalent vaccine is suitable for women between 20 and 45 years old and prevents HPV16, HPV18, HPV6 and HPV11, the two types of viruses that cause genital warts. The total cost of the quadrivalent three shots is about $2,500. The vaccination is given at 0, 2 and 6 months respectively. The bivalent vaccine prevents HPV 16 and HPV 18, the two viruses that cause most cervical cancers. It is suitable for women aged 9-25 who are not sexually active and costs about $800 a piece. Vaccination is given at 0, 1 and 6 months respectively.  In conclusion, although there are more and less prices for cervical cancer vaccine, you must choose the right vaccination for you.
