Answer
Hello!
Vaginitis develops will adversely affect the vaginal mucosa, cervix. Therefore, the earlier HPV vaccination is given, the more it will help the recovery of the HPV vaccine and avoid affecting the function of the cervix. Injections do not harm the treatment of vaginitis and vice versa. It is possible to both treat vaginitis and vaccinate against the disease.
Thank you for your question to Vinmec Health System, looking forward to meeting you in person for more specific advice. Best regards!
