Everyone may now feel that the probability of cancer around them is too high. Is there any way to prevent cervical cancer? Everyone is definitely willing to give the method of cancer treatment a try, but what is the situation of the cervical cancer vaccine in China? The editor of Babao.com will take you to take a look.
Where can I get the cervical cancer vaccine
Community hospitals and community health service centers in various cities.
Price of cervical cancer vaccine injection
GlaxoSmithKline\’s HPV bivalent vaccine: Domestic pricing is one 580 per dose (three shots)
Merck’s quadrivalent vaccine: pricing has not yet been determined (it is expected to be slightly higher than the bivalent vaccine, about 700-900 yuan per dose.)
At present, the vaccination cost of Cervarix in the Mainland is lower than that of similar vaccines in Hong Kong.
It is understood that the current total price of three doses of the bivalent HPV vaccine in Hong Kong is around HK$3,000 (approximately RMB 2,584.4). The cost of the quadrivalent vaccine is not much different from that of the bivalent vaccine. The cost of the nine-valent HPV vaccine The price of vaccination is about HKD 4,000.
Which groups can be injected with cervical cancer vaccine
International opinion:
Generally Adolescent females are considered to be the preferred group for vaccination. Regarding the suitable age for HPV vaccination, the recommendations of various countries or different institutions in the same country are different. Globally, it is 9 to 45 years old, and the age approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is 9 to 26 years old; World Health The vaccination group recommended by the World Health Organization (WHO) is 9 to 12 years old.
Generally speaking, if you have had sexual intercourse, you can still be vaccinated within the vaccination age, but the benefits will be reduced; similarly, whether you are over 26 years old or not depends mainly on your sexual life. People who are sexually active can be vaccinated; for those who are married or have regular sexual partners, vaccination is of little significance.
Men can be vaccinated against cervical cancer. The 4-valent and 9-valent HPV vaccines are recommended to prevent anal cancer, penile cancer and genital warts. However, most countries and the official documents of the World Health Organization do not recommend men to vaccinate against HPV, because the main benefit for men is to prevent genital warts, and this type of disease is not fatal; there is currently no evidence that male vaccination has any effect on female cervical cancer. The role of prevention.
Netizens said
Foreign countries are offering nine prices…China has only started to offer two prices
Finally, I can get a shot in China without having to go to Hong Kong.
Isn’t it discrimination to not be able to get vaccinated after the age of 26?
No, it’s just that after the age of 26, the effect is not very great.
The HPV vaccine is finally available in China. Although it is bivalent, it is recommended that young people of appropriate age get vaccinated as much as possible. Vaccination experience abroad and in Hong Kong has proven to be completely safe and trustworthy. Of course, if conditions permit, it is most safe to go to a capitalist country to receive the nine-valent HPV vaccine.
Cervical cancer background
Qiao Youlin, an epidemiologist at the Institute of Cancer Research, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences, said, “Cervical cancer is a common malignant tumor that seriously threatens women’s health. There are 10 new cases in my country every year. million, with 30,000 deaths, among which it is the third most common cancer among women aged 15 to 44. Therefore, while carrying out cervical cancer screening, cervical cancer vaccination will significantly reduce the incidence of cervical cancer and its precancerous lesions. , thereby reducing the burden of disease.”
On July 18, 2016, GSK’s “Cirvarix” received marketing approval from the State Food and Drug Administration (CFDA), becoming the first approved cervical cancer drug in the mainland. cancer vaccine. On May 18 this year, the cervical cancer vaccine \”Jadaxu\” (human papilloma virus vaccine [type 16, type 18, type 6, type 11]) developed by the American pharmaceutical company Merck & Co. was also approved by the Food and Drug Administration. After registration and approval, it was approved in China. It is reported that \”Jiadaxiu\” will be put on the market 6 months after the approval, that is, at the end of this year.
At present, \”Cerris\” and \”Jadex\” are the two cervical cancer vaccines with the widest coverage in the world. They were launched overseas in 2006 and 2009 respectively. The difference between the two is that \”Cerris\” is a bivalent cervical cancer vaccine.Miao, \”Jia Daxiu\” includes two types: four-valent and nine-valent. The \”Jiadaxiu\” vaccine currently approved in China is a quadrivalent vaccine. The price represents the types of virus subtypes covered. The higher the price, the more types of viruses are covered.
A research report analysis by Founder Securities pointed out that the cervical cancer prevention market has a market worth at least tens of billions. Previously, because GSK’s vaccine had not been launched on the mainland, nearly 2 million people went to Hong Kong to get vaccinated every year.
At present, 11 pharmaceutical companies in my country have submitted clinical applications for HPV vaccines, and a total of 7 companies have been approved by the Food and Drug Administration to enter the clinical trial stage (including 5 domestic companies and two imported companies that have applied for listing) , which also includes the nine-valent vaccine. Some experts predict that
The launch of \”Cerris\” and the approval of \”Jiadaxiu\” will provide more experience for the review and approval of subsequent products, thereby accelerating the launch of the nine-valent vaccine.
Public information shows that cervical cancer is the most malignant tumor of the female reproductive tract after ovarian cancer. There are nearly 600,000 new cases and about 300,000 deaths worldwide every year. There are about 135,000 new cases in China every year, and 80,000 of them die. 99.7% of cervical cancers are caused by HPV virus infection.
