Did your kids get the HIV vaccine? Are there any side effects and do they need it?

1 HIV vaccine and HPV vaccine, silly.

Human Immunodeficiency Virus, also abbreviated as HIV, or AIDS virus, is a virus that causes defects in the human immune system. Unfortunately, there is no international vaccine for HIV on the market yet;

Or this type of vaccine scientists are still in the process of developing, still in the laboratory stage of research, not yet really large-scale application to the human body. So you just can't get the vaccine even if you want to, there is no such vaccine, and there is no way to discuss whether there are side effects or not.

2 Everyone is happy that the HPV vaccine became available in the country in 2016.

I figured that the vaccine this parent wanted to inquire about would be the HPV vaccine.HPV is human papillomavirus, which is a member of the papillomavirus family, abbreviated as HPV.The HPV vaccine is a vaccine against the human papillomavirus.HPV infection is a major contributor to the development of cervical and genital warts, as well as some anal and oral cancers.

On July 12, 2016, the State Food and Drug Administration (SFDA) approved GlaxoSmithKline's application for import registration of a biological product for prophylaxis - human papillomavirus adsorbed vaccine. The domestically approved vaccine is a bivalent vaccine that uses a baculovirus expression system to express recombinant HPV types 16 and 18, respectively.

3 Is the HPV vaccination necessary or not?

There are more than 100 different types of HPV known, most of which are considered "low risk" and are not associated with cervical cancer. However, 14 HPV types are classified as "high risk" because they have been shown to cause almost all cervical cancers. Of these, the two highest risk strains, HPV-16 and HPV-18, are responsible for about 70% of cervical cancer cases.

HPV infection now has an international consensus, both in terms of epidemiology and clinical data, that HPV is necessary to cause cervical cancer, so HPV vaccination can prevent some cancers, especially cervical cancer.

4 Is the safety of HPV vaccination guaranteed?

Based on the good clinical protection effect and safety data of HPV vaccine, the World Health Organization encourages the use of HPV vaccine to reduce the incidence of cervical cancer in suitable populations. Moreover, the data show that the safety and efficacy of application in the target population in China is consistent with that abroad.

Therefore, parents should not be too obsessed with the side effects of the vaccine, that is, the issue of safety. If the safety is not guaranteed, the vaccine cannot be marketed in China. In addition, vaccines are also medicines, and if they are medicines, there are more or less adverse reactions, but these adverse reactions, just like other routine vaccinations for children, are within a safe range that can be controlled.

First of all, HIV is the AIDS virus that causes AIDS. So far, there is no effective vaccine against this virus worldwide, and there is no cure for AIDS. Therefore, there is no HIV vaccine available at regular vaccination clinics!

A new vaccine has recently come out, which is actually not that new. It was already available overseas or in Hong Kong before, only that it was only available on the Mainland last year. That is the HPV vaccine, also known as the cervical cancer vaccine, which actually does not just prevent cervical cancer. There are three kinds: bivalent, quadrivalent and nine-valent.

In the Mainland, there are only 2 types of vaccines: bivalent and quadrivalent. The bivalent vaccine can prevent diseases caused by HPV16 and HPV18 viruses, mainly cervical cancer, and is suitable for women aged 9-25 years old, regardless of whether they are married or unmarried; the bivalent vaccine can prevent diseases caused by HPV6, 11, 16, and 18 viruses, including condyloma acuminatum and cervical cancer, and is suitable for both men and women, and is recommended for women aged 20-45 years old. 2 vaccines are given in three doses. Both types of vaccines have a total of three injections.
HPV vaccine belongs to the second class of vaccine, following the principle of voluntary self-payment. Anyone who needs to be vaccinated can inquire at their local vaccination clinic, and those out of stock may need to make a reservation. In addition, regarding the prevention of cervical cancer, screening and vaccine are equally important. Women who have had sex should have regular gynecological examinations and TCT screenings. So that the disease can be detected as early as possible and treated at an early stage for better treatment results.

That's all there is to say about this issue. I am a CDC doctor and dietitian, mainly sharing knowledge related to disease prevention and nutritional health, interested in my published articles, you can also leave a message to consult or private message.
