Nine-valent vaccine generally refers to the nine-valent cervical cancer vaccine. The vaccine is available to women who are sexually active and are between the ages of 16 and 26.
The vaccine is suitable for women between the ages of 16 and 26 years old, and those who are in this age range and have no history of allergy to the vaccine can be vaccinated. A history of sexual activity may affect the effectiveness of the vaccine, but the effect is usually minor.
Nine-valent cervical cancer vaccine mainly prevents high-risk types 16, 18, 6, 11, 31, 33, 45, 52 and 58 human papillomavirus. The nine-valent vaccine can be used to prevent cancers of the cervix, vulva, vagina, anus, oropharynx, and other head and neck regions as well as genital warts in women.
It is important to note that after getting the cervical cancer vaccine, it does not necessarily mean that you will not get cervical cancer. This is because no matter which vaccine is given, it is not 100% preventive. Therefore, after the cervical cancer vaccine, it is still necessary to have a routine cervical cancer screening. For details, it is recommended to consult a specialized doctor.
