At Chinese General Hospital (CGH), we are committed to providing compassionate care and preventing future illnesses. The Human Papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine is a key part of this mission, protecting against several types of cancer, including cervical, vaginal, vulvar, anal, head and neck cancers as well as genital warts.. Early vaccination not only protects you but also helps build a healthier community.
Who Should Get Vaccinated?
CGH recommends that both boys and girls receive the HPV vaccine between ages 9-12, before any exposure to the virus. However, it’s never too late. If you missed the vaccine in your teens, individuals up to age 26 are encouraged to get vaccinated, and for those aged 27-45, speak with your healthcare provider about your personal risk factors.
Why the HPV Vaccine is Essential
HPV is one of the most common virus, and its long-term effects can be life-threatening. By receiving the HPV vaccine, you reduce the risk of multiple cancers. Countries with robust vaccination programs have reported dramatic reductions in HPV-related illnesses.
Safe, Effective, and Compassionate Care
The HPV vaccine has been thoroughly researched and is proven to be safe. Side effects are typically mild, with the most common being a slight discomfort at the injection site. Our dedicated team at CGH ensures a seamless and supportive vaccination experience. We believe in healthcare delivered with empathy, offering you both protection and peace of mind.
Protect yourself, protect your future. Consult your CGHMC Gynecologist or call us at (02) 8711 4141 to receive the HPV vaccine and take an important step toward cancer prevention.
