The reporter learned from Chengdu Health Commission that in September 2022, the Chengdu Health Commission, Municipal Education Bureau, and Municipal Finance Bureau revised the "Chengdu Cervical Cancer Comprehensive Prevention and Control HPV Vaccination Implementation Plan". In addition to still following the principle of "informed consent, independent selection, and voluntary vaccination" and adhering to the subsidy standard of 600 yuan per person, Chengdu will also include the newly launched domestic bivalent HPV vaccine "Wozehui" in the project vaccine. Choosing this vaccine will make the vaccine free, benefiting more girls of school age.
Why should I get the HPV vaccine ?
Cervical cancer is closely related to the persistent infection of human papillomavirus (HPV). In recent years, it has shown a trend of younger age, becoming a "major killer" affecting women's health, and putting a heavy burden on families and society. Vaccination with HPV vaccine can reduce the risk of vaccine-related diseases and is more effective in women who have never been infected with HPV. Therefore, vaccination before the age of high risk of infection can minimize the chances of infection and transmission.

Currently, those who are 13-14 years old are 13-14 years old and are under 15 years old when they receive the first dose of HPV vaccine (the date of birth of the vaccination subject in 2022 is January 1, 2008-December 31, 2009), and have no history of HPV vaccination, they can enjoy the Chengdu HPV vaccine benefit program for girls of school age. What HPV vaccines are included in the
people-friendly project?
At present, there are 4 HPV vaccines suitable for vaccination in China for ages 13 to 14 years old, namely domestic bivalent (Wozehui, Xinkening ), imported bivalent (Xiruishi), and imported quadrivalent (Jadarxiu), all of which have been included in the Chengdu school-age HPV vaccination project.
What are the differences between different HPV vaccines? The "price" of the
HPV vaccine refers to the number of virus types targeted. There are about 200 known HPV types, divided into high-risk types and low-risk types. The most common high-risk types in China are HPV16 and 18 types. They are the two most common types that cause cervical squamous cell carcinoma and adenocarcinoma. Therefore, effective prevention of HPV16 and 18 infections is the focus of primary prevention of in cervical cancer . Bivalent and quadrivalent HPV vaccines both cover HPV types 16 and 18. No matter which HPV vaccine you choose, it’s good to get vaccinated.
How do girls of Chengdu school age participate in the HPV vaccination benefit project?
