Wirae Apple Obstetrics and Gynecology Clinic - Recommended discount on cervical cancer vaccine.

Cervical cancer, which is primarily caused by HPV (human papillomavirus) infection through sexual intercourse, is known to be the only type of cancer that can be prevented.

Our children have completed their vaccinations, and I also received my vaccinations before marriage.

Have you all received your vaccinations?

This time, my nephews who were in the United States came to Korea for a short visit.

Since I came to Korea, I went to the hospital for a check-up and received this treatment.

As an aunt, I want to do many things, so I looked into various things.

I found out that my nieces and nephews have not received the cervical cancer vaccination!

My nieces and nephews are not eligible for the cervical cancer vaccination that is being supported in Korea.

I found out that there is Gardasil 9.

✅ The Gardasil 9 vaccination is not eligible for free vaccination!

- Gardasil 9 is not available for free vaccination; only Gardasil 4 and Cervarix are available for free vaccination.
- Free vaccination eligibility: Females aged 12 to 17 (born between January 1, 2006, and December 31, 2012)

Women aged 18 to 26 (born between January 1, 1997, and December 31, 2005) from low-income households
 

1) Female adolescents aged 12 years: Free vaccination with Gardasil 2 (Silvarix) or Gardasil 4.

2) Females aged 13 to 17 years and females aged 18 to 26 years from low-income households: Free vaccination with Cervarix (2-valent) or 4-valent vaccine.
3) Since Gardasil 9 is not a government-supported vaccination, each dose costs approximately 200,000 to 240,000 won.
Generally, the progression of cervical cancer takes about 10 to 20 years, with a long period before symptoms appear after infection.
Considering the time it takes for immunity to develop, such as antibody formation, getting vaccinated in your teens is relatively more effective.

Reasons for administering the 9-valent Gardasil vaccine

The Gardasil 9 vaccine covers the HPV types (6, 11, 16, 18) found in the existing 4-valent vaccine, plus five additional types (31, 33, 45, 52, 58).

They say they added it.

Based on the potential impact of the HPV vaccine on cervical cancer in Korea, preventing HPV types 16 and 18 can reduce cervical cancer by approximately 74%, and adding the HPV types 31, 33, 45, 52, and 58 included in the Gardasil 9 vaccine can increase the prevention effect to as much as about 92%.

Through Gardasil 9, women are protected against vulvar cancer, vaginal cancer, anal cancer, and reproductive system cancers caused by HPV infection.

Prevention of various diseases, including those mentioned, is possible.
It is not only women who are affected; men who have sexual intercourse can also develop anal infections caused by HPV.
They say it can prevent cancer and genital warts.

So these days, girls and boys are vaccinated together.

Number of times the 9-valent Gardasil vaccine is administered

If under 14 years old, a total of 2 times (second dose after 6 months from the first dose)
If you are 15 years or older, a total of 3 times (with intervals of 2 months and 6 months from the initial vaccination date)
This vaccine varies in the number of doses required depending on age. Just two doses are sufficient to develop adequate antibodies.
A second dose will be administered with a difference. However, for age groups beyond that, a total of three vaccinations will be administered within one year.
Love yourself and your loved ones as much as possible to prevent cervical cancer, vaginal cancer, vulvar cancer, penile cancer, anal cancer, and other related cancers.
Getting vaccinated is a good idea.

✅ Gardasil 9 vaccination age - It's good to get it regardless of age.

The recommended age range domestically is 9-26 years old, while the WHO recommends vaccination between 9-14 years old.

The vaccination age is set as above to prevent before the age when sexual activity becomes active. However, even if you have had sexual experience, it is recommended to consult with a doctor before considering vaccination to prevent HPV infection, so those who haven't been vaccinated yet might want to consider a consultation.

It is recommended for men under the age of 26, but it is suggested to use what is appropriate. The effectiveness may decrease, but it is said to definitely have a preventive effect.

So diligently researching, I checked the Cashdoc hospital event.

There was a perfect cervical cancer vaccine discount event at [Apple Obstetrics and Gynecology Wirye Branch] near my house!

The best part is that it's very affordable, even though it might seem quite expensive, right?

Dr. Jung Kyung-hee, a specialist in female doctors, pregnancy, contraception, women's health check-ups, and female plastic surgery, is seeing patients.

You have completed your internship and residency in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology at Gangnam CHA Hospital.

The hospital review was a bit disappointing because it included an image attachment.

What I felt while receiving treatment from the director regarding the hospital's facilities...

And I was able to learn about the attitude and atmosphere of the hospital staff, so I pressed <Helpful>.

Thank you for your review.

So far, we have learned about the price and recommended age for the Gardasil 9 vaccine, which is a preventive injection for cervical cancer. Even if the vaccination age for Gardasil has passed, the effectiveness may decrease, but it is still said to provide definite preventive benefits.

If you haven't received the vaccination or have children who are unvaccinated, you can get vaccinated at a low cost, which is very convenient.

I'm planning to go with my nieces and nephews~

I hope it will be a meaningful gift for my nieces and nephews.

Have a good day~
