What Is HPV and How Does the Vaccine Work?
HPV is a group of over 200 viruses, several dozen of which are transmitted through sexual contact. The most dangerous types are HPV-16 and HPV-18, which are responsible for about 70% of cervical cancer cases. The HPV vaccine works by stimulating the immune system to produce antibodies that fight the virus before it can cause an infection. Vaccines available on the market, such as Gardasil 9, offer protection against the most common and high-risk HPV types.
Indications for HPV Vaccination
HPV vaccination is recommended for girls and boys aged 11 to 12, although it can be administered as early as age 9. It is also advised for teenagers and young adults who were not vaccinated earlier. The vaccine is recommended for both women and men to protect against various types of cancer and genital warts.
Benefits of HPV Vaccination
HPV vaccination offers many benefits. Most importantly, it significantly reduces the risk of cervical cancer and other cancers caused by HPV. Studies have shown that the vaccine is highly effective in preventing HPV infections and precancerous cervical lesions. Additionally, the vaccine is safe and well-tolerated by most patients, with side effects generally mild and short-lived, such as injection site pain, fever, or fatigue.
HPV Vaccination Process
The HPV vaccine is typically administered in a series of three doses at specific intervals. The first dose is given on a chosen date, the second dose 1–2 months later, and the third dose 6 months after the first. The vaccination procedure is simple and quick, and the entire process is supervised by qualified medical staff. Before receiving the vaccine, the patient should consult a doctor to discuss benefits and any possible contraindications.
Recovery After Vaccination
Recovery after HPV vaccination is usually brief and does not require any special measures. Most people can return to normal activities right after receiving the shot. However, it is recommended to monitor the injection site and general condition for a few days. In case of concerning symptoms such as severe pain, swelling, rash, or difficulty breathing, medical attention should be sought immediately.
HPV vaccination is a key element of preventive healthcare, helping to protect against serious diseases caused by the human papillomavirus. Vaccination significantly reduces the risk of cervical cancer and other HPV-related cancers.
