What to do if you are pregnant after the cervical cancer vaccine



You can continue your pregnancy just after the cervical cancer vaccine and there is no need to worry.

The cervical cancer vaccine is a protein fragment that can be used to prevent infection with the corresponding subtypes of the human papillomavirus HPV, reducing the chances of HPV infection and preventing pre-cancerous lesions or cervical cancer from occurring in the cervix. The cervical cancer vaccine is not a virus and therefore does not affect pregnancy or have adverse effects on the fetus.

Under normal circumstances, vaccinees are required to receive three doses of the cervical cancer vaccine within six months. If you become pregnant during the six-month period of vaccination, you need to stop receiving the vaccine and wait until you have a baby before completing the remaining vaccination.

If the vaccinated person discovers that she is pregnant after all the vaccinations have been completed, she can continue her pregnancy as the vaccine will not affect the growth of the fetus, and she can take regular pregnancy checkups as required by the hospital.
