May I ask if there is any drastic difference if I take Gardasil 9 vaccine instead? The doctor advised me to take Gardasil 4 vaccine instead of Gardasil 9 one, saying that Gardasil 9 vaccine is for women. But from a quick Google Search, this is not true. Am I right? Sigh.

Previously it wasnt recommended for men. But now it is recommended for men up to age of 45 years old. G9 covers 9 strains whereas G4 only covers 4 strains. If you like can just switch to g9 instead of finishing the vaccination for g9. Start again with first dose of G9. Can read this article in CNA: https://cnalifestyle.channelnewsasia.com/wellness/vaccine-hpv-singapore-cervical-penile-cancer-women-men-237741 "And up until 2020, these vaccines were approved for use from ages nine to 26 (up to age 25 for Cervarix). But last September, the Health Sciences Authority approved for Gardasil 9 to be used by both men and women from ages 27 to 45. This means that it is now allowed to cover both men and women from ages nine to 45" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway, from what I've garnered, medisave doesn't cover the cost of G9 vaccine partially like G4 vaccine right? That's probably why the doctor didn't recommend for me lol 🤨 If I'm not wrong, the overall cost for G9 vaccine should be $570? I stand corrected Pls feel free to correct any part of this, I'm not very sure! 😅 Edited September 8, 2021 by maddykl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our clinic offers it at $278.2 after gst per dose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Guest Posted September 9, 2021 Report Share Posted September 9, 2021 With the third COVID19 booster shot coming soon, is there any period to keep between the shots,especially the different ones? Or can they be done back to back? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wintersnow Posted September 10, 2021 Report Share Posted September 10, 2021 Ive taken G4 previously many years back and its until recently G9 been approved understand that g9 has the same 4 strains in g4 therefore is it advisable for me to go for the g9 shots given the fact that ive already done g4 Ideally better if there is a g5. (for the 5 strains not in g4) Unfortunately, there isnt such product available Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not a need but more of a good to have. So yes you can still get vaccinated if you want to be protected Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No specific recommendations but generally a 2 week gap between the two different injections might be sufficient just to be safe Edited September 13, 2021 by Dr T Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
