Sounds like Gardasil-9, I got all 3 of them done at Tokyo Medical and Surgical Clinic for that price. As with most series of vaccinations, you get the most protection from the first vaccine, so if you want to save money you can try getting only the first. There's research out there saying the first will get you a majority of the immunity as getting three. I got all 3 because I could afford to.
Yeah it cost about 100.000 total for me in Japan.
I guess it’s just an assumption because the vaccine was originally marketed as a prevention of womb cancer?
Wow, vaccines are expensive in Japan. It cost me all but 30 dollars to get my HPV shots. Well and my monthly premium.
When I asked about it, I was told it's only really recommended for younger people because by 45, it's assumed any sexually active person has already been exposed. If you know you don't have it, you can say that and get it. It's still effective for older adult men, but only if you haven't been exposed to the virus yet.
It's expensive because it's an import of an HPV vaccine from a Western country not covered by insurance. The Japanese HPV vaccine is likely cheaper but likely covers less strains of HPV.
