  • Methods: This is a crosssectional population-based study, with probabilistic sampling, stratified, drawn in two stages, based on 859 records of adolescents of 12 to 19 years old, non-institutionalized and living in urban areas. (usp.br)
  • To obtain herd immunity, we suggest that for the next 5 years children aged 7-11 years entering guidance school are selected as the main group for vaccination. (who.int)
  • As in these other research studies, Gilkey and colleagues, via a national survey of pediatricians and family physicians, found that many of these HCPs were inconsistent in their approaches to HPV vaccination, often delayed vaccination past the recommended ages of 11 to 12 years, and generally failed to strongly recommend vaccination.

  • Girls and boys aged 12-13 years can receive the HPV vaccine free of charge as part of the National HPV Vaccination Program. (cancerqld.org.au)
  • Seroprevalence reflects current and past exposure as well as vaccine-induced antibody and can provide important information about HPV epidemiology and vaccination. (cdc.gov)
  • HPV vaccination was introduced in the national immunization program for females in 2006 and for males in 2011. (cdc.gov)
  • The HPV immunisation rate for 15-year-old females rose from 72% in 2012 to 79% in 2016, and from 62% in 2014 to 73% in 2016 for 15-year-old males. (aihw.gov.au)
  • For 2-year-olds, the immunisation rate increased markedly between 1999 and 2004 (from 74% to 92%), and remained relatively stable at 92% to 93% until 2013. (aihw.gov.au)
  • Management and implications for future immunization are markedly different for these events and it is important to distinguish one from the other as quickly as possible without delaying appropriate therapeutic interventions. (canada.ca)
  • Approximately eight out of 10 unvaccinated adolescents reported that they had not received counselling to vaccinate and two out of 10 proved vaccination by submitting the vaccine card. (usp.br)
  • Vaccination is a primary prevention strategy which aims to prevent the necessary causal agent of cervical cancer by preventing nine types of HPV. (cancerqld.org.au)
  • Vaccinations are an important form of primary prevention. (healthline.com)
  • The proportion of individuals in a population with doubtful protection (unvaccinated, nonresponders and low responders after primary vaccination) affects the chances of immunity reaching the 95% threshold that is necessary for herd immunity [2]. (who.int)
  • Considering that the majority of COVID-19 cases and the population are in Western regions1 and 2, vaccination will begin in these two regions and based on lessons learned, it will rolled out in the 5 regions using fixed and outreach/mobile strategy. (who.int)
  • [6,7] The proportion of a population that needs to be vaccinated (vaccination rate) to provide community immunity varies depending on the disease. (medscape.com)
  • 1. Immunisation is an effective way to protect individuals from harmful infections and to prevent the spread of disease in the community. (anao.gov.au)
  • Immunisation stimulates the body's immune system to protect against specific diseases, including precancerous viral infections. (cancerqld.org.au)
