Dr. Tran Duc Cung (specialist in Oncology and Gynecology, professional consultant of Hung Viet health system) answered as follows:
Hello!
There is good news for all of you. On the official website of the World Health Organization (WHO) on April 11, information was posted about: just one injection of HPV has the same preventive effect as many shots in the past.
Specifically, according to the latest recommendations, women aged 20 and under can get 1-2 injections. From the age of 21 and older will receive 2 injections, each dose is 6 months apart. That’s enough, you don’t need any more injections.
However, let me stress to you, this is the new recommendation in the world. In our country, there is no official announcement from the Ministry of Health. Therefore, women do not arbitrarily skip the injection periodically. Ideally, you still inject according to your doctor’s appointment to make sure you have enough shots.
wish you happy and healthy!
