Gardasil 9 HPV Vaccine — 2 Doses

Both men and women may be exposed to HPV if they have had sexual contact. HPV infection is common, and in some cases, persistent infection with certain HPV types may lead to HPV-related cancers or genital warts.

In women, HPV infection may be associated with cervical cancer, vulvar cancer and other HPV-related conditions. Cervical cancer has also shown a trend of affecting younger age groups in recent years. In men, HPV infection may be associated with anal cancer, genital warts, penile cancer and certain head and neck cancers, including oropharyngeal cancer, laryngeal cancer, oral cancer and tongue cancer.

HPV vaccination, also commonly known as the cervical cancer vaccine, helps the body produce antibodies against HPV and may help protect both males and females against HPV-related diseases.

The HPV 9-in-1 vaccine, also known as Gardasil 9, is widely used internationally and provides protection against 9 high-risk and low-risk HPV types. It helps reduce the risk of several HPV-related cancers and genital warts.

Vaccination before adolescence can produce a stronger immune response and is generally recommended before the start of sexual activity for optimal protection.

Young people and adults — aged 15 or above
Even if you have already had sexual activity, vaccination may still help protect against HPV types that you have not yet acquired. The Centre for Health Protection in Hong Kong prioritises HPV vaccination for individuals aged 26 or below.

Individuals who have not had sexual experience
Those who have not been exposed to HPV may benefit most from vaccination, as it can provide strong protection against vaccine-covered HPV types before exposure.

Individuals who have had sexual activity
Vaccination may still help protect against HPV types that have not yet been acquired and reduce the risk of new HPV infections.
HPV vaccines have been administered to over 100 million people worldwide and have a good safety record. Common mild side effects may include:

Redness, swelling or pain at the injection site

Mild fever or tiredness

Headache or muscle pain, which usually subside within 1–2 days

Severe allergic reactions are extremely rare. You will be observed for 15 minutes after vaccination to ensure safety.
You may eat as usual before vaccination.

If you feel unwell on the day of vaccination, such as having a fever or infection, vaccination should be postponed.

Individuals who have already been infected with HPV may still receive the vaccine to help protect against other HPV types.
Individuals who have already been infected with HPV:
Vaccination may still help protect against other HPV types that have not yet been acquired.

Pregnancy:
It is generally recommended to postpone HPV vaccination until after delivery.

Breastfeeding:
HPV vaccination may be given during breastfeeding.

HPV vaccination does not replace cervical smear screening.
Even after completing HPV vaccination, women should continue regular cervical smear screening according to their doctor’s advice. Vaccination and regular screening together provide more comprehensive protection.

Vaccination date reminder and follow-up arrangement
Q1. How long does HPV vaccine protection last?
Current research shows that HPV vaccines can provide protection for at least 10 years, with long-term studies still ongoing. Existing data suggest that the protection is long-lasting, and booster doses may not be required in many cases.

Q2. Is HPV vaccination still useful if I have already had sexual activity?
Yes. Even if you have already had sexual activity, HPV vaccination may still help protect against HPV types that you have not yet acquired. Studies suggest that vaccination may still provide good protection for individuals aged 45 or below.

Q3. Do I need an HPV test before receiving the HPV vaccine?
No. HPV testing is not required before vaccination. Whether or not you have previously been exposed to HPV, the vaccine may still help protect against other HPV types that you have not yet acquired.

Q4. Why should men receive the HPV vaccine?
HPV vaccination in men may help reduce the risk of anal cancer, oropharyngeal cancer, penile cancer and genital warts. It may also help reduce the risk of HPV transmission to partners.

Q5. How long after HPV vaccination can I plan for pregnancy?
It is generally recommended to complete the full vaccination course, either 2 or 3 doses, before planning pregnancy. You may consult a doctor for personalised advice based on your individual situation.

Q6. What is the difference between the 9-in-1 HPV vaccine and the 4-valent HPV vaccine?
The 9-in-1 HPV vaccine provides protection against five additional high-risk HPV types compared with the 4-valent vaccine, including HPV types 31, 33, 45, 52 and 58. This offers broader coverage against HPV types associated with cervical cancer and other HPV-related diseases.

Q7. Is there an upper age limit for HPV vaccination?
In Hong Kong, HPV vaccines are generally registered for use in individuals aged 9–45. Individuals aged above 45 may consult a doctor to assess the potential benefits and suitability of vaccination.

Q8. What should I do if my HPV vaccination schedule is delayed?
You usually do not need to restart the whole course. You can continue with the remaining doses and complete the course according to the advice of your doctor or healthcare provider.
