Brief Answer:
I think it is for cervical cancer
Detailed Answer:
Hi
Welcome
I have gone through your query and picture.
There are some vaccines which are undergoing clinical trials for breast and uterine cancer, but none of them are approved for regular use.
I think that the facebook post actually meant cervical cancer. There are vaccines in XXXXXXX market to reduce the risk of cervical cancer.
Overall, the effects are usually mild. It includes soreness at the injection site (the arm), headaches and low-grade fever. Sometimes dizziness or fainting, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea or abdominal pain.
In 25 to 45 age group female studies have found that the vaccine helped protect against infection and disease from the HPV types contained in the vaccine. It only helped the women who weren’t infected with those HPV types before vaccination.
In males there is not sufficient data available to prove its effectiveness.
Hope this helps.
Take care.
