In China, cervical cancer is the second most common female malignancy, with about 110,000 new cases each year and a trend of youthfulness. And HPV vaccination is the first line of defense against cervical cancer. The nine-valent vaccine is the most comprehensive HPV vaccine available in the market, which can prevent 90% of cervical cancer. And the nine-valent vaccine is suitable for women aged 16-26 years old to be vaccinated, and it is best to complete the vaccination before the first sexual intercourse. So what are the contraindications before and after the nine-valent HPV vaccination?
Things to note before receiving the nine-valent HPV vaccine.
1. avoid using immunoglobulin or blood products for the first three months.
2. inform your doctor in advance of your medical history, especially your past vaccination history and vaccine allergy history.
3. postpone vaccination when suffering from acute and severe febrile diseases.
4. vaccination should be postponed for women preparing for pregnancy, pregnancy and breastfeeding.
5. Those who have received other vaccines (e.g. New Crown vaccine) within the last half month should postpone the vaccination.
6. Vaccination can be done normally during menstruation.
7. Vaccination can be given as usual for minor colds.
Things to note after receiving the nine-valent HPV vaccine.
1. After each vaccination, the vaccinated person should stay for 15-30 minutes to prevent symptoms such as local pain or redness, which are common and can generally be relieved by themselves after 3-5 days. In addition, common adverse reactions at the vaccination site include: local pain, swelling, erythema, fever, itching, hard nodules, etc., while a small number of systemic adverse reactions, such as diarrhea, headache, fever, dizziness, fatigue, muscle pain, arthralgia and gastrointestinal symptoms (nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain), etc., may occur less frequently after vaccination. Most of these adverse reactions can be relieved naturally and generally no special treatment is needed.
2. If an allergic reaction occurs after vaccination, you should seek medical attention as soon as possible. Take anti-allergy medication under the guidance of a professional doctor. If an allergic reaction occurs after the first dose of vaccination, subsequent doses of vaccination should be suspended.
3. If adverse events such as cellulite, primary thrombocytopenic purpura, lymphadenopathy, acute disseminated encephalomyelitis (ADEM), dizziness, Grimballi syndrome, hypersensitivity reaction, bronchospasm, urticaria, etc. occur after vaccination, prompt medical consultation is recommended.
4. After vaccination, keep a light diet for one week, do not eat spicy and irritating food and seafood; pay attention to drinking more water and prohibit drinking alcohol for 24 hours.
5. After vaccination, it is recommended not to take a bath for 3 days, and the vaccination site should not be exposed to water, nor should the vaccination site be rubbed.
6. After vaccination, to avoid muscle pain, avoid lifting heavy objects with the vaccinated arm.
7. Do not conceive within six months after vaccination. If pregnancy is found after a partial dose of vaccination, subsequent vaccination should be postponed and continued after the breastfeeding period is over.
8. Post-vaccination is not a substitute for routine cervical cancer screening, and both before and after vaccination, vaccinees need to be checked regularly for HPV virus and observed for infection.
