Cervical cancer develops in a woman’s cervix, and almost all related cancer cases are linked to HPV infection. Different genotypes of HPV will lead to diverse diseases, including genital warts (for men and women). Some studies advised that nearly 80% sexually active people will face the threats of HPV infection in their lifetime. HPV infection could incur no significant symptoms, and HPV transmission cannot be avoided even using condoms. HPV Vaccine is prophylactic vaccine that could protect men and women aged 15 or above against HPV infection, allowing the immune system to develop HPV antibodies.
Seasonal influenza is an acute illness of the respiratory tract caused by influenza viruses. Influenza occurs in Hong Kong throughout the year but is usually more common in periods from January to March / April and from July to August. It is advised to be vaccinated in autumn.
Influenza vaccination is one of the effective means in preventing influenza and its complications together with reduction in influenza-associated hospitalisation and death. Given that the Seasonal Influenza Vaccination offers protection against influenza and its complications, all members of the public, except those with known contraindications, should receive the vaccine annually for personal protection.
