HPV Vaccines Package

Cervical cancer is the second most common cancer in Indonesia after breast cancer. In Indonesia, more than 200,000 Indonesian women have died from cervical cancer.

Cervical cancer develops in a woman's cervix (the entrance to the uterus from the vagina). Almost all cases of cervical cancer (99%) are caused by high-risk human papillomavirus (HPV) infection, a virus that is widely transmitted through sexual contact.

The HPV virus can also infect men and causes cancer of the penis, anus, and oropharyngeal (cancer of the back of the throat, including the base of the tongue and tonsils).

The HPV vaccine can prevent HPV infection. In Indonesia, the HPV vaccine has succeeded in reducing the risk of cervical cancer and genital warts by 88% in adolescent girls and 81% in young adult women.

There are two types of HPV vaccines: 4 serotypes and 9 serotypes. Women who take the HPV vaccine are not required to undergo a pap smear at first.
