广东多地宣布：延长

Core Viewpoint - Guangdong Province is extending the HPV vaccination program to enhance cervical cancer prevention efforts and meet the ongoing vaccination needs of the eligible population through a dual approach of "free + subsidized" initiatives [1][8]. Group 1: Policy Extension and Coverage - The HPV vaccination subsidy program has been extended by 6 to 9 months to accommodate diverse vaccination needs [2]. - The program covers major cities in the Pearl River Delta, including Guangzhou, Shenzhen, and Zhuhai, as well as regions in eastern and western Guangdong, ensuring broad geographic coverage [2]. - The initiative now includes not only women aged 9-26 but also men aged 16-26 and women aged 35-45, with specific financial support for the last dose of the imported nine-valent HPV vaccine [2][4]. Group 2: Vaccination Timeline - The deadline for the first dose of vaccination in cities like Jiangmen, Zhanjiang, and Chaozhou has been extended to June 30, 2026, while other participating cities must complete the first dose by September 30, 2026 [4]. Group 3: Health Implications and Recommendations - HPV infection is highly prevalent and closely linked to various cancers, with approximately 98% of cervical cancer cases in China caused by high-risk HPV strains [6]. - The World Health Organization recommends vaccinating girls aged 9-14 who have not engaged in sexual activity as a priority group for HPV vaccination [6]. - Including males in the vaccination strategy is crucial for reducing the risk of related diseases and minimizing the transmission of HPV to females, thereby aiding in the faster elimination of cervical cancer [6].
