Product description

Vaccination against HPV protects against contracting this virus and developing cervical cancer, one of the most common cancers in women. An important factor in its development is infection with HPV (Human Papillomavirus), as well as e.g. smoking, an unhealthy lifestyle and many natural births. There are more than 100 types of HPV - some of which can cause benign lesions, such skin warts, while others lead to the development of malignant tumours. HPV vaccination protects against these conditions.

Why is it worth getting vaccinated

Infection with certain HPV types is one of the causes of, for instance, cervical cancer, genital warts (condyloma) and laryngeal cancer.

Just a few HPV subtypes are responsible for almost 100 per cent of cervical cancer cases. These are primarily types: 16 and 18, as well as 31, 33, 45 - i.e. viruses with a high oncogenic (cancer development) risk.

The non-oncogenic (non-cancerous) types, of which 6 and 11 are the most common, cause condyloma formation on the genitals. HPV infections can also lead to cancer of the anus, oropharyngeal space, vagina, vulva, penis.

Only a small proportion of people are aware that they are HPV carriers. It is important to remember that both men and women can be infected with this virus. As HPV infection can be asymptomatic, carriers of the virus can infect their sexual partners.

HPV infection occurs through sexual contact with a person who carries the virus, most often in the initial period after the onset of sexual activity. This is why it is important to have the vaccination before sexual initiation takes place.

It is thought that, over the course of a lifetime, approximately 50-80% of sexually active women and men have been or will be infected with this virus.

Cervical cancer is a cancer that, thanks to available preventive measures (vaccination against oncogenic HPV strains and cytological screening), can be avoided or detected at an early stage when it is completely treatable.

HPV vaccination ensures that immunity is built up and HPV infection does not occur. As a result, the risk of cervical cancer is significantly reduced.

Vaccination against HPV is recommended by the Minister of Health in the Polish Programme of Protective Vaccination. Universal HPV vaccination is also recommended by the World Health Organisation (WHO), the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control (CDC) and international and national scientific societies (paediatric, gynaecological and oncological).

HPV vaccine

The nine-valent vaccine protects against up to nine HPV types: 6, 11, 16, 18, 31, 33, 45, 52 and 58 (seven of which are responsible for almost 90 per cent of all cases of cervical cancer). It helps prevent genital warts (also known as condyloma) and cancers and precancerous lesions of the vulva, vagina, cervix and rectum caused by specific types of HPV.

Vaccine:

  • is intended for children over 9 years of age and adults,
  • administered at a young age, protects against HPV for up to 50 years,
  • administered up to the age of 14 years results in full immunization after only 2 doses, while 3 doses are needed for full immunization in persons over 15 years of age.

Vaccination schedule

The vaccination schedule depends on the age of the vaccinated person. The recommended vaccine schedule for children aged 9 to 14 years inclusive is a 2-dose schedule for the 9-valent vaccine:

  • the second dose should be given between 5 and 13 months after the first dose; Important! If the second dose of the vaccine is given earlier, a third dose should always be given.

The package includes:

  • 2 doses of HPV vaccine,
  • 2-fold administration of the vaccine.

Patients who do not have care at Medicover pay extra for vaccination eligibility visits each time before the next dose is administered.
