Cervical cancer<\/a> is the most common type of cancer caused by HPV.<\/p>\nIn cervical cancer, the disease affects the cervix or the lower end of the uterus.<\/p>\n
What kind of HPV vaccine should you take?<\/p>\n
Dr Tanaya advised to opt for Cervavac for those taking the shot between 9 and 26 years of age. Cervavac is a vaccine that is made in India and costs around \u20b92000 per dose.<\/p>\n
Those between 9 and 46 years of age can opt for Cervavac or Gardasil 4 or Gardasil 9.<\/p>\n
Gardasil is manufactured in the United States, making it a bit expensive than Cervavac. Gardasil 4 is priced around \u20b94500, while Gardasil 9 costs around \u20b910,000.<\/p>\n
Those below the age of 15 should take two doses of HPV vaccine and ones beyond this age should take three doses.<\/p>\n
Men should also opt for HPV vaccine<\/p>\n
Men can also opt for HPV vaccine doses. They might not be victims of cervical cancer, but cancer-causing HPV, can also develop inside genital organs.<\/p>\n
For men, HPV can potentially cause cancer in penis, anus or even their mouth.<\/p>\n
Irrespective of gender or sexual activity, Dr Tanaya urges everyone to go ahead and get a shot of HPV vaccine to lead a healthy life.<\/p>\n
