There are more than a 100 different types of HPV. Vaccination only protects against 2, 4 or 9 of these respectively, but it is still advised, because these few types (HPV 16 and 18) are behind 70% of all cervical cancer cases caused by HPV. Further types (6 and 11) against which the inoculation provides protection, cause genital warts, which although benign, are difficult to treat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why do we recommend the new vaccination against HPV?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>It provides protection on a bigger range (against 5 additional types of HPV that are high risk regarding cancer)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>It also protects against the most common types, 6 and 11, that cause genital warts<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>It can be administered to 9-26 year-old boys and girls<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Which types of HPV does the Gardasil 9 vaccine protects against?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>the most common types, 6 and 11, that cause genital warts<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>against types 16 and 18, which can cause cervical and anal cancer<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>against 5 additional types of HPV that are high risk regarding cancer (31, 33, 45, 52 and 58)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The new vaccination thus protects against all but one of the high risk HPV types.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Potential questions<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>If I already received the older vaccination, can I still receive the 9-component one?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Yes, but the 3 vaccines need to be administered the same way, because protection against the additional 5 or 7 HPV types that the new vaccination provides can only be achieved that way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>What if I am older than 26 years?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The new vaccination was examined among 9-26 year-olds, currently the vaccination is only available to them. Above the age of 26, we still recommend the 4-component vaccination, that protects against types 16 and 18, which are exceptionally important regarding cancer, and types 6 and 11, that cause warts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>What is the effect of the vaccination in case of an existing HPV infection?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The role of the vaccination is prevention, it does not cure the disease. However, it provides protection against other types of HPV.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>I have already had an HPV infection which my body successfully fought off. Then why should I get vaccinated?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Because it is not guaranteed that a new infection or a different type can also be fought off by your body. Also, it can be transmitted to a partner to whom it might cause problems. We are responsible not just for our own health, but for that of our partner as well.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Important information!<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The new vaccination protects against diseases caused by HPV infection, therefore it drastically decreases the chance of cervical cancer to develop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On rare occasions, other types of HPV can also cause cervical cancer to develop, therefore screening is still an important part of prevention. Regarding cervical cancer screening, we advise the co-test mentioned in the newest commendations, which consists of cytology and HPV screening.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>At Downtown Medical Center, the Gardasil 9 vaccine is available, which is the new vaccination against HPV, protecting against 9 types of it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":3165,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":true},"szakrendeles-kategoria":[103],"class_list":["post-3979","szakrendeles","type-szakrendeles","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","szakrendeles-kategoria-hpv-en"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dev.belvarosiorvosicentrum.hu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/szakrendeles\/3979","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dev.belvarosiorvosicentrum.hu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/szakrendeles"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dev.belvarosiorvosicentrum.hu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/szakrendeles"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dev.belvarosiorvosicentrum.hu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/3165"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dev.belvarosiorvosicentrum.hu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3979"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"szakrendeles-kategoria","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dev.belvarosiorvosicentrum.hu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/szakrendeles-kategoria?post=3979"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
