HPV vaccination for adults, in Warsaw at the Invimed clinic - what is worth knowing?

HPV (Human Papilloma Virus), or human papilloma virus, is a common pathogen that is responsible for the onset of many dangerous diseases. The virus is transmitted sexually both through vaginal intercourse and oral or anal intercourse. It is estimated that up to 80% sexually active people worldwide may be infected with HPV. In most cases, the infection is asymptomatic and resolves spontaneously through the work of the immune system.

However, in approximately 20% infected patients, the virus can lead to serious health complications such as:

• Cervical cancer - one of the most dangerous female cancers. In Poland, as many as five women die every day because of it.

• Vaginal cancer

• Cancer of the vulva - less frequently diagnosed, but no less dangerous.

• Anal cancer - affecting both men and women.

• Oral and oropharyngeal cancer.

• Condylomas - soft papules and warts that appear in intimate areas. They are one of the most common sexually transmitted diseases, affecting up to 9-13% of the population worldwide.

Human papilloma virus infection is a global problem, occurring in both women and men of all ages.

Fortunately, vaccines that effectively prevent infection have been available for many years. According to official figures, HPV vaccination is already used in 125 countries such as the United States, Canada and Australia.

After a decade of vaccination programmes introduced in these countries, it has been observed:

• 90% reduction of HPV infection,

• 90% reduction in cases of genital warts,

• 80% decrease in the number of high-grade cervical pathologies.

These figures clearly show how much progress has been made in preventive health care through vaccination.

HPV vaccination for adults is the simplest yet most effective way to protect against dangerous cancers and other serious consequences of HPV infection.

How do I register for the HPV vaccination for adults, Warsaw?

In Warsaw HPV vaccination, for adults, can be performed in Invimed Clinic Prague. The patient does not need to make an appointment for the vaccination itself, only a qualifying appointment. Prior to vaccination, a signed consent form is required, passing the medical qualification and payment at reception. The vaccination should be performed within 24 hours of the qualification visit. During such a visit, qualified medical personnel assess the patient's general health, rule out contraindications to vaccination and provide detailed information on the procedure itself. Only after a positive qualification can the vaccine be administered. This ensures that the HPV vaccination process is safe and tailored to the patient's individual health needs.

How do I prepare for the HPV vaccination?

No special preparation is needed for the HPV vaccination for adults at the Invimed clinic. A referral for vaccination is also not necessary. An important part of the HPV vaccination is a qualifying visit during which the qualifying person takes a general history and recommends the appropriate vaccination schedule.

Contraindications to HPV vaccination:

• Age of children under 9 years, as there are no data on vaccine safety and efficacy in this age group. At the Invimed Warsaw Praga clinic, vaccination of children is not performed.

• Pregnancy (the vaccine can only be administered during breastfeeding if the potential benefits outweigh the possible risks).

• Allergies to HPV vaccine components.

• History of anaphylactic shock and severe adverse vaccination reactions.

• Active viral infection - in this case vaccination should be postponed to a later date (a slight fever or sub-febrile state is not a contraindication to vaccination).

• Immunodeficiencies - Although HPV vaccines are considered safe for people with immunodeficiencies (e.g. caused by HIV), the response to vaccination may be less effective. Each case should be assessed individually by a doctor.
