Cervical cancer is an important health issue for women in my country. There were 1,310 new cases of cervical cancer diagnosed in 2010 and 608 women died of cervical cancer in 2011. The main cause of cervical cancer is persistent infection with human papillomavirus (HPV). Generally, there are no obvious symptoms following being infected with HPV. About 90% of infected people will clear up on their own within a year. If the infection does not clear up for more than a year, it is called ” Persistent infection”.
According to the recommendations of the World Health Organization (WHO), HPV vaccination is more effective for girls aged 9-14 who are not sexually active. The National Health Department has comprehensively promoted HPV vaccination services for junior high school girls since the end of December 2013. As of January 2013, the coverage rates of complete vaccination of 2 doses for junior high school girls enrolled in 2010-110 were 75.0%, 85.9%, and 85.9%, respectively. 86.0% and 91.3%, increasing year by year, and moving towards the goal of a stable vaccination rate of more than 90%. We encourage those who are eligible to get vaccinated to build a healthy defense line.
Precautions before, during and following HPV vaccination
Starting from February 2013, the second dose of HPV vaccine service will be provided on campus for junior high school girls enrolled in 2011. Eligible female students are reminded to complete the vaccination according to the recommended schedule in the instructions and stay away from the cervix with the consent of their parents or guardians. Fighting the threat of cancer, we protect our precious daughter together.
The National Health Department warmly reminds you of the following precautions before, during and following vaccination with HPV vaccine:
1. Before vaccination:Students and parents are reminded to read the health education content and related instructions of the HPV vaccine in detail before arranging HPV vaccination services with the consent of both students and parents.

HPV vaccine protects for at least 8 years
Vaccination with HPV vaccine to prevent cervical cancer has been recognized by WHO as safe and effective. The currently provided publicly funded vaccines have a protective power of at least 8 years. After vaccination, the most common symptoms are redness, swelling and pain at the injection site, dizziness, and headache, which are mostly mild to moderate and short-lived. If you have any questions regarding vaccination, you can call the national HPV vaccine hotline: 0800-88- 3513 (Baby, protect me for life) asked. In addition, because the HPV vaccine is an inactive vaccine, it can be vaccinated together with other inactive or active vaccines such as hepatitis A, hepatitis B, diphtheria, tetanus, acellular pertussis mixed vaccine, and influenza vaccines following evaluation by a physician. However, The vaccination sites should be separated (for example: one vaccine in the right arm and another vaccine in the left arm).
Another study shows that although the HPV vaccine can prevent related types of viral infections, it still cannot prevent cervical cancer 100%. Therefore, following receiving the HPV vaccine, you must still have safe sex, use condoms correctly, and receive cervical smear regularly. Film screening. The National Health Service subsidizes free Pap smear tests for women over the age of 30, and encourages women who meet the screening qualifications to receive a smear test at least every three years.
