Women's vaccination

One of the main causes of cervical cancer is the infection of human papilloma virus (HPV). This is the group of viruses that includes more than 100 genotypes. The virus is rather widespread and easy to get infected not only during sex act, but also by means of touching genitalia. At this, the oncologic disease development can take place within a short period after papilloma virus infecting.

The only effective way to prevent human papilloma virus infecting is vaccination, because even the use of condom does not provide 100% protection against the infection. As a rule, the vaccination includes the most harmful genotypes (16 and 18) which provoke cervical cancer.

Depending on vaccine type, HPV vaccination is performed at the age from 9 to 12. For persistent immune response the vaccine is injected 3 times at intervals between the vaccinations from 5 months to 1 year.

However, the vaccines exist that can protect your health in later life; in general, women can be vaccinated up to 60 years of age, while respecting particular conditions.

To get long-lived immunity to HPV, cervical cancer vaccination is injected 3 times with an interval of 1 month between the first and the second vaccination, and the interval between the second and the third vaccination should be 6 months.
