Affected by the epidemic, the number of domestic women receiving the HPV vaccine has dropped to only 80%. The National Health Administration encourages female students in the National First Class to actively get vaccinated, and have regular Pap smear examinations over the age of 30. Compared with the current bivalent vaccine with 70% protection, a 9-valent vaccine with 90% protection is expected to be introduced in the second half of the year to prevent cervical cancer and prevent genital warts.
The government encourages women to do Pap smears to prevent cervical cancer and spare no effort. The incidence rate has dropped from 252,000 in 1984 (1995) to 77,000 in 2019 (2019), and the death rate has also decreased from 252,000 in 1995. 110,000 fell to 31,000. In recent years, China has been encouraged to vaccinate once morest the HPV2-valent vaccine, but the vaccination rate has declined due to the impact of the epidemic.
Wu Zhaojun, director of the National Health Administration, said, “I am worried regarding the side effects of the vaccine, so the vaccination rate will also be lower. The vaccination rate in the 109 school year (2020) has dropped slightly to 84%, so we still encourage age-appropriate and qualified people. The vaccine can be administered as soon as possible.”
Lv Junyi, secretary-general of the Vaccine Promotion Association, said, “It is still possible to be exposed to HPV in the environment, such as pressing the elevator button or even the door handle. It is best to be able to get vaccinated, to build up your immunity, you will not worry regarding coming into contact with the virus, and you can also reduce viral infection, especially for cervical cancer, which is quite good.”
We call on first-year girls to get HPV bivalent vaccine as soon as possible. According to WHO statistics, the early vaccination for women aged 9-14, the better the preventive effect, can prevent up to 70% of cervical cancer. At present, more than 111 countries around the world have included the HPV vaccine into their vaccination programs. However, the National Health Administration also emphasized that regular Pap smear screening is still required.
Wu Zhaojun, director of the National Health Administration, said, “Chronic diseases or allergies to drugs, allergies to vaccines, it doesn’t matter, a doctor will help you evaluate before vaccination.”
The current 2-valent vaccine is expected to be upgraded. The 9-valent vaccine with a 20% higher protective effect is expected to be given priority to first-year girls in the second half of the year. In addition to cervical cancer, it can also prevent genital warts. It is estimated that 100,000 people will benefit.
