Activity Description

The 9-valent human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine (9vHPV) is a second-generation, noninfectious, recombinant vaccine available in the United States and indicated for the management and prevention of infections, diseases, or cancers caused by both low-risk and high-risk HPV types, including 6, 11, 16, 18, 31, 33, 45, 52, and 58. HPVs are the leading sexually transmitted viruses responsible for precancerous and cancerous lesions. The 9vHPV has been licensed by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) since 2014 and is classified as a preventive immunization.

The exact mechanism of action of 9vHPV remains unclear, as HPV only affects humans, which poses challenges for research. However, researchers hypothesize that the vaccine operates by triggering the humoral response. This activity comprehensively examines the indications, actions, and contraindications of the 9vHPV vaccine as a crucial tool in managing and preventing HPV infection and associated diseases. Furthermore, this activity underscores the mechanism of action, adverse event profile, and other essential considerations regarding administering the 9vHPV vaccine, which is crucial for clinicians in delivering HPV immunization to patients effectively.
