What is Cervarix?
Cervarix is a vaccine, proven to protect against HPV. HPV (human papilloma virus) is a known cause for cervical cancer in women. Cervarix in manufactured by GlaxoSmithKline.Cervarix protects against 2 strains of HPV (16 and 18) that cause cervical cancer. Cervarix is also formulated with AS04, a proprietary adjuvant that boosts the immune system response for a longer period of time to HPV strains.In clinical trials, women ages 15-55 were given the vaccine and the results suggest that the vaccine is effective in women over 26. GlaxoSmithKline says that Cervarix is "generally safe and well tolerated".
One must take 3 Cervarix jab in 0-1-6 duration, that is first jab followed by 2nd jab after 1 month and 3rd jab, 6 months after the 1st jab. Pregnant women should not get it.
Today, i just receive my first jab of Cervarix by Dr Teoh. Dr Teoh is very nice, he get me 2 Cervarix with cost price, which is RM145. If i were to buy the jab outside, i think i have to pay RM180-RM200 per jab. Thank you Dr Teoh.
