Vaccines and college entrance exams among key issues

New HPV vaccine available

The China Food and Drug Administration has conditionally approved the human papilloma virus vaccines, that can tackle nine versions of the virus, to be sold on the Chinese mainland.

The HPV vaccines are for females aged 16 to 26, and greatly reduce their chances of contracting HPV-led diseases such as cervical, vulvar, vaginal and anal cancers and genital warts.
