Already Having Sex, Is It Still Effective When Injecting the HPV Vaccine?

Regarding the HPV vaccine in Indonesia, the Indonesian Ministry of Health itself has said that this vaccine will officially be included in the list of mandatory immunizations for children.

The HPV vaccine will be given to those in grades 5-6 SD for free. This method is one of the government’s efforts to reduce the death rate from cervical cancer.

This was conveyed directly by the Acting Director of Immunization Management at the Ministry of Health, Dr. Prima Yosephine some time ago.

“The target for the free HPV vaccine (national program vaccination) is for girls of 5th and 6th grade elementary school or equivalent,” said the Acting Director of Immunization Management at the Ministry of Health, Dr. Prima Yosephine via text message to Health Liputan6.com, Thursday, April 21, 2022.

The HPV vaccination will be given during the School Child Immunization Month (BIAS) every August, which takes place in each school.

“This HPV immunization is given at the time of immunization for school children every August,” said Prima.

“For children who are not in school, the local health officer will collect data and determine when and where the service will be carried out,” he added.
