Reluctance to accept cervical cancer vaccine

Reluctance to accept cervical cancer vaccine

This is our common experience that despite our detailed counselling of women who come to our OPD, the acceptance rate for vaccine is very low.
It may be related to high cost of vaccine, unawareness,denial that it could happen to me.
More campaigns need to be done to create awareness and acceptance.

What should you know about cervical cancer vaccination

What should you know about cervical cancer vaccination

 How does the vaccine work?

It gets your body to produce antibodies

against the HPV virus. These antibodies

protect your body from an HPV infection by

fighting the virus when it tries to attack the

cervix. 

Who should take the vaccine and when

       Ideally, the vaccine should be taken as early

       as possible after the age of 9 years but girls

       and women of any age up to 45 can benefit

       from this vaccine. 

       Expectant mothers should not take the

       vaccine during their pregnancy.
