Do boys and adults need the vaccine? Doctors debunk common HPV myths (healthyD.com)"},"content":{"rendered":"<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In recent years, more and more people are concerned about the human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine (also known as the cervical cancer vaccine), including the vaccine&#039;s efficacy and vaccination timing. Some parents are also worried about whether vaccination will affect girls&#039; menstruation and future fertility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Understanding HPV infection<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Cervical cancer ranks ninth among the top ten most common cancers (in women) in Hong Kong, a significant threat. Most cervical cancers are caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV), and while there is currently no treatment for HPV, vaccination is an effective way to prevent infection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This virus can be transmitted through sexual contact (even with condoms) or other intimate skin-to-skin contact. Persistent infection with high-risk HPV types can cause cervical cell changes, which can progress to cervical cancer. HPV is also linked to other reproductive cancers (such as vaginal, vulvar, and penile cancers), anal cancer, and even head and neck cancers (including nasopharyngeal cancer, oral and pharyngeal cancer, and salivary gland tumors), as well as genital warts, commonly known as &quot;cauliflower warts.&quot;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">When should local schoolgirls receive HPV vaccination?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Currently, the Hong Kong Childhood Immunisation Programme provides free nine-valent HPV vaccine to eligible primary school girls. The first dose is mainly given to fifth-grade female students attending participating primary schools, and the second dose is given in the next school year (i.e. sixth-grade female students).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The number of doses of the nine-valent HPV vaccine varies depending on the age at vaccination:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>9 to 14 years: Two doses are generally recommended (with an interval of 6-12 months between doses)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>15 years or older: Three doses (according to the schedule for each dose, completed within 12 months)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If a girl has missed the school vaccination program or is attending a school not participating in the program, parents can consult a doctor and arrange for vaccination at their own expense starting at the age of 9 or above.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why should we vaccinate early? Seize the &quot;golden protection period&quot;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Many parents may wonder: &quot;My child is still young, does he need to get the HPV vaccine so early?&quot; This is because the protective efficacy of the HPV vaccine is closely related to the age at the time of vaccination and whether the child has had sexual experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The World Health Organization recommends that the ideal age for HPV vaccination for children and adolescents is between 9 and 14 years old. Because HPV is primarily transmitted through sexual contact, the most effective preventive measure is to complete the entire vaccination program before a child has any sexual experience and, therefore, before any exposure to HPV. Once a child has had sexual experience and contracted HPV, even if the vaccine targets that type, the vaccine&#039;s effectiveness is significantly reduced, and HPV infection in the body becomes difficult to eliminate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Do boys also need to get the HPV vaccine?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The medical community also encourages men to get the HPV vaccine. In fact, HPV infection isn&#039;t exclusive to women. Studies have shown that over 90% of anal cancer and cauliflower warts (venereal warts) in men are caused by HPV. Because HPV can also attack men, vaccination can prevent HPV infection from leading to anal cancer, penile cancer, oropharyngeal cancer, and genital warts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Do adults still need to get the HPV vaccine if they have missed the golden protection period?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Many adults didn&#039;t get the HPV vaccine when they were younger, or missed the right time to get it. So, is the vaccine still effective now? While the vaccine is most effective when administered before sexual initiation, for adults who have already had sex, vaccination can still effectively protect against HPV types they haven&#039;t been infected with yet, but may be exposed to in the future. The 9-valent vaccine protects against a total of nine HPV strains (seven high-risk and two low-risk). Even if you&#039;ve already been infected with one or two of these strains, the vaccine still provides protection against the remaining types, thereby reducing your risk of developing related cancers and diseases later in life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Common misconceptions about the HPV vaccine<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Some women also wonder if vaccination completely protects them from cervical cancer. This is a misunderstanding! Vaccination does not guarantee immunity to cervical cancer. Even if women have been vaccinated, doctors generally recommend regular Pap smears after sexual activity, as the vaccine covers only a limited number of viruses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Based on numerous scientific research findings, its safety and effectiveness are supported by clinical studies and real-world data. Generally speaking, common side effects are similar to those of other vaccines and are mostly mild and transient, such as redness, swelling, and pain at the injection site, a mild fever, or a headache. The vaccine will not affect menstruation or hinder fertility.<br><br>In summary, for both men and women, the ideal time to get vaccinated is before sexual activity and between the ages of 9 and 14, when immune responses are at their peak. For adults who have missed this prime period, vaccination still offers more benefits than risks. If you have questions about HPV vaccination, consult your family doctor for advice on the most appropriate HPV vaccination regimen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.premierclinic.hk\/en\/doctors\/dr-yuen-ching-yi-jenny\/\">General Practitioner Dr Yuen Ching Yee<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Originally published:<\/strong><br><a href=\"https:\/\/www.healthyd.com\/articles\/expert-blog\/hpv%e7%96%ab%e8%8b%97%e8%bf%b7%e6%80%9d-%e5%ad%90%e5%ae%ae%e9%a0%b8%e7%99%8c%e9%a0%90%e9%98%b2-%e8%a2%81%e9%9d%9c%e6%80%a1%e9%86%ab%e7%94%9f\">https:\/\/www.healthyd.com\/articles\/expert-blog\/<\/a><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In recent years, increasing attention has been paid to the human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine (also known as the cervical cancer vaccine), including its efficacy and timing.
