How do you get the HPV vaccine in Australia?
Local teenagers in Australia are free to be vaccinated against HPV. For those who do not meet the requirements of the local HPV vaccination program in Australia, you may make an appointment with the school hospital or hospital, purchase and vaccinate yourself.
Overseas students with valid student insurance can book HPV Vaccine vaccinations at school hospitals, which do not have to pay for vaccinations, but need to pay for vaccines (the current price is about $150 per unit).
After an appointment, a doctor will simply ask you about your health, or if there are any drug allergies. Then arrange for you to receive three vaccines at a time. Non-school students can visit nearby hospital clinics for consultation, appointment and vaccination against HPV.
Considerations in vaccinating HPV vaccine
There are three common HPV vaccines, Gardasil,Gardasil 9 and Cervarix.. What is commonly used in Australia is that Gardasil.Gardasil has a wider coverage of the HPV virus and is also suitable for men but not for people allergic to yeast. Cervarix is not suitable for people who are allergic to latex and is only suitable for vaccination in women.
Side effects of HPV vaccine
The HPV vaccine, similar to other vaccines, can cause short-term adverse reactions, often including mouth pain, redness, fever, fatigue dizziness and muscle soreness. It is recommended to sit still for 15 minutes after vaccination before leaving. Of course, some people on the Internet say there are other side effects after the fight, but currently the HPV vaccine is generally considered harmless and free of side effects. However, to be cautious, you can look for information before vaccination.
