HPV Vaccination
 

Anyone heard about this vaccine?

My doctor told me that HPV can be prevented with this vaccine. It costs $185 per shot, and there are 3 sessions to complete.

Re: HPV Vaccination
 

Thank for the info.

Re: HPV Vaccination
 

Good information.

Re: HPV Vaccination
 

It tends to be targeted at Women/Girls, cuz it's to prevent HPV, which causes cervical cancer. But it works for guys too, as it gives some immunity over the HPV virus which causes genital warts.

Re: HPV Vaccination
 

What if the individual is already a carrier of the virus? Does this injection wipe the slate clean for them, so to speak?

Re: HPV Vaccination
 

no it doesn't. it works optimally when taken as early as 9 years old, and not a carrier of the virus.

there are 2 in the market presently, i tink. cervarix and gardasil. gardasil more pricy but gives protection against genital warts. cervarix does not, as of date. from wat i understand ..

Re: HPV Vaccination
 

aiyo.. you kenna chop by your doctor liao :rolleyes:.. down here only $120 per jab.

DSC

as for whether males are able to get the jabs, you can learn more from their official website..

GARDASIL [Human Papillomavirus Quadrivalent (Types 6, 11, 16, and 18) Vaccine, Recombinant]

hope it clears all your doubts.

Cheers.

Re: HPV Vaccination
 

DSC is generally cheaper cuz it's subsidized. But heard they might be abit more particular about giving men the jab. Better call DSC to check. Pte clinicd generally don't have a problem with giving men the jab.

Re: HPV Vaccination
 

haha.. i did call them up.. all they said was.. MUST SEE DOCTOR before the jab.. each time see doctor will set us back $15.. but altogether $135 still $50 cheaper than the GP.. somemore go twice still got spare cash to go look for FL.. :D completed the vaccination still can look for those high quality young ones with the $150 :p..

I read from the Newspaper that more Singaporean was diagnosed with HIV/STB.
High percentage are men, they only find out when they went for blood test.( anonymous).

Government are getting 4 more clinics to set the "FREE" HIV/STB test for Singaporean.

But, where can I find these location?
:p
