latest in cervical cancer prevention - gardasil 9!

5/27/2017

19 Comments

 
The new GARDASIL 9 vaccine is now available at Katong Family Clinic, covering HPV types 6, 11, 16, 18, 31, 33, 45, 52, and 58.  It protects against the main cancer causing strains for Cervical cancer and also offers coverage for vulva, vaginal, anal and oro-pharyngeal (off label usage) cancers.

Cervical cancer is the 10th most common cancer in females (from Singapore Cancer Registry Interim Annual Report 2010 - 2014) and the 3rd leading cause of cancer deaths for women aged 15-44 years in Singapore (from ICO HPV info centre, HPV and related diseases report, Singapore).

Compared to the earlier version Gardasil 4, it protects against additional high-risk strains of human papillomavirus and it reduces the risk of HPV-related cervical cancer by approximately 90%. It also protects against HPV-related vaginal, vulvar and anal cancers and genital warts to a similar degree.

It is indicated for males and females from 9-26 years - do vaccinate your children of suitable age!

Remember, completing the vaccine course reduces the risk of cervical cancer but it is still important for sexually active women to undergo regular cervical cancer screening!!!

Dear Celest,

GARDASIL 9 offers protection against additional strains of HPV when compared with the older GARDASIL vaccine (which covers 4 HPV subtypes: 6,11,16,18). GARDASIL 9 protects against the subtypes in GARDASIL plus types 31, 33, 45, 52, and 58.

This may be more important in our local context. Worldwide, HPV types 16 and 18 cause about 70% of cervical cancers and precancers with another 20% being associated with other high risk HPV subtypes. In Singapore, infection with HPV 16 and 18 is less common than elsewhere and infection with other high-risk HPV subtypes, especially types 51, 52 and 58 is more common. This means that vaccinating against the additional high risk HPV subtypes contained in GARDASIL 9 may offer more benefit locally.

To decide whether GARDASIL 9 after GARDASIL is right for you, do contact us for consultation and discussion of your particular medical history and circumstances. You can contact us at 6203 4192 or via email at katongfamilyclinic@gmail.com

Studies have shown that GARDASIL 9 after GARDASIL is safe and effective in generating an immune response. We would generally advise a one year gap after GARDASIL before having the first dose of GARDASIL 9.

I hope this helps to clarify your query, please contact me if I can be of further help.

Yours sincerely,

Dear Dr. Packer,

Just to clarify, is it safe to receive 3 doses of Gardasil-9 after having received 3 doses of Gardasil Quadrivalent?

Thank you!

Dear Nina,

Yes, studies show it is safe and effective. However it is advisable to have a gap of one year between the last dose of the GARDASIL Quadrivalent vaccine and the first dose of GARDASIL 9.

Do contact us if you would like to know more.

Yours sincerely,

Gadasil-9 is recommended to go the injection for below 26. Should the patient go the injection after 26 years? Please advise me.

Thank you.

Dear Thida,

The ideal time for GARDASIL 9, and when it offers the most benefit is before a person becomes sexually active. However, a person older than 26 years can still receive the vaccine after a discussion of the risks and benefits in his or her particular case.

Generally the more partners a person has had the higher the likelihood that they have been exposed to more types of HPV but of course each person's personal risk differs.

We would be delighted to see you to discuss the potential benefits and concerns in your particular case and allow you to come to an informed decision of whether or not you wish to proceed with the vaccination.

You may contact us on 62034192 or by email at katongfamilyclinic@gmail.com if you wish to schedule an appointment.

Yours sincerely,

Hello every one my I want to use this medium to appreciate Dr obodubu monday a great spell caster for helping me retrieving back my relationship with my ex lover when he ended and turned back on me for quite a long time now (6 months ago) He performed a spell for me and within 48 hours after the spell had been cast I receive a text from my ex saying that he is sorry for the pains and tears that he had caused me and that he will not do such thing to me again in his life. I was surprised but later accepted him back again. Anyone that is in the same line of problem or different one that want to contact a spell caster should happily contact Dr obodubu monday now on this email address:babadoctorobodubuspiritualhome@gmail.com or you can contact him through his whatsapp line +2349058774809
