To investigate the incremental cost effectiveness of two dose human papillomavirus vaccination and of additionally giving a third dose. Cost effectiveness study based on a transmission dynamic model of human papillomavirus vaccination. Two dose schedules for bivalent or quadrivalent human papillomavirus vaccines were assumed to provide 10, 20, or 30 years vaccine type protection and cross protection or lifelong vaccine type protection without cross protection. Three dose schedules were assumed to give lifelong vaccine type and cross protection. United Kingdom. Males and females aged 12-74 years. No, two, or three doses of human papillomavirus vaccine given routinely to 12 year old girls, with an initial catch-up campaign to 18 years. Costs (from the healthcare providers perspective), health related utilities, and incremental cost effectiveness ratios. Giving at least two doses of vaccine seems to be highly cost effective across the entire range of scenarios considered at the quadrivalent ...
Quadrivalent human papillomavirus vaccine and autoimmune adverse events: a case-control assessment of the vaccine adverse events.
Cervarix (Prophylactic Human PapillomaVirus Vaccines) - Forecast and Market Analysis to 2022 is a new market research publication announced by Reportstack. The first prophylactic vaccine for immunization against human papillomavirus (HPV) became available in 2006. The global HPV vaccines market is now well established, yet vaccine coverage rates amongst the traditional target population of adolescent girls remain persistently low. Initially HPV vaccines were developed and marketed solely to protect against cervical cancer. In recent years the role of HPV in other cancers has been increasingly recognized which has facilitated a shift towards vaccinating a wider population, most significant has been the inclusion of males in routine vaccine recommendations in some countries. The current HPV vaccines market is dominated by one major player, Mercks Gardasil, with GlaxoSmithKlines (GSKs) HPV vaccine Cervarix providing the only competition. The introduction of Mercks nine-valent vaccine (V503) is ...
Guidance for primary care trust human papillomavirus vaccine (HPV) uptake coordinators on how to determine the annual denominators and enter the vaccine uptake data.
Comprehensive postvaccination surveillance should not only consider reductions of vaccine type-specific infection and associated disease but should also assess any other potential effects of reductions of targeted infections. We assessed changes in nonvaccine HPV types to determine evidence of cross-protection for individual HPV types and to investigate the potential concern that reductions in certain HPV types after the introduction of HPV vaccination in a population could create a niche that enables other nonvaccine high-risk HPV types to become more common (i.e., type replacement). We found evidence of a reduction in the prevalence of HPV31 among girls and women ,19 years of age. Our main analysis showed increases in other nonvaccine HPV types (HPV39, HPV52, HPV53, HPV58, and HPV73), but these increases were inconsistent for the 2 age groups examined and the vaccines used.. A previous systematic review evaluated changes in high-risk HPV types combined and found evidence of a reduction in the ...

Overall, men were less willing to receive HPV vaccine when framed as preventing genital warts than when framed as also preventing several HPV-related cancers. This finding is similar to those from studies in which womens interest in HPV vaccine for themselves and for their adolescent daughters was higher when it was presented as preventing cervical cancer (10, 11). Although previous research indicated that including cervical cancer protection benefits for female partners did not affect HPV vaccine acceptability in males (12), we found that including cancer protection benefits for the males themselves resulted in greater acceptability of the vaccine. Furthermore, our experiment suggests that it does not matter which type of cancer was presented.. Consistent with other studies of HPV vaccine acceptability among males (12, 29, 30), men in our experiment were moderately willing to get vaccinated against HPV (31). Although gay and bisexual men were more willing to get HPV vaccine than their ...
To develop the 1993 Sexually Transmitted Diseases Treatment Guidelines, experts from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reviewed the literature on sexually transmitted disease treatment, assembled tables of evidence, and listed key questions on therapeutic outcome: microbiologic cure, alleviation of symptoms, and prevention of sequelae and transmission. At a meeting with external experts, evidence was systematically assessed and guidelines developed. Quality of evidence for microbiologic cure was generally good for gonorrhea and chlamydia, poor for syphilis, and fair for most other diseases. Evidence on preventing sequelae and transmission was limited. The Guidelines include new recommendations for single-dose oral therapy of gonorrhea (cefixime, ciprofloxacin, and ofloxacin), chlamydia (azithromycin), and chancroid (azithromycin); outpatient therapy of pelvic inflammatory disease (ofloxacin and either clindamycin or metronidazole); and patient-applied therapy of genital warts ...

Anal HPV infection can be a risk factor for anal cancer, which is a common non-AIDS-defining cancer among HIV-infected MSM. Screening for anal cancer is not widely available and can be difficult to implement. People who receive the FDA-approved quadrivalent HPV vaccine, Gardasil, may have a reduced risk of developing anal HPV infection, which may in turn reduce the risk of developing anal cancer. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of the quadrivalent HPV vaccine, Gardasil, at reducing the incidence of anal HPV infections in HIV-infected MSM and HIV-infected women.. This study enrolled HIV-infected MSM and HIV-infected women. Participants were randomly assigned to receive the HPV vaccine or a placebo vaccine. At the screening study visit, participants underwent a physical examination, blood collection, anal swab procedure, oral examination, questionnaires, a high-resolution anoscopy (HRA), and if female, a pregnancy test, vaginal swab, and gynecologic exam. At the entry ...
Background Cervical cancer is the fourth most common cancer affecting women worldwide. Since 2006, two Human Papillomavirus vaccines (HPVV ) have been licensed to protect women against the virus that causes cervical cancer. However, worldwide coverage remains unequal. Studies from the USA found strong evidence for differences in HPVV uptake by ethnicity and healthcare coverage. As the profile of ethnic groups and the healthcare system in the USA differ from countries in Europe where HPVV is free in most of the countries, we conducted a systematic review in order to analyze the determinants of HPVV uptake in Europe.Methods We performed a systematic Pubmed, Scopus and Science Direct search to find articles published from HPVV availability in European countries until April 2014. No age restriction was applied. We included all studies assessing factors associated with HPVV uptake. Uptake refers to either initiation and/or completion of the three dose vaccination program. Results Out of the 23 eligible
Objective: National cervical cancer prevention program has been initiated in Indonesia since April 2015 and the ministry of health has started efforts to integrate the HPV Vaccine in the national immunization program since Q4 2015. Thus, it becomes important to analyze the cost-effectiveness of HPV vaccine. The objective of this model is to examine the potential long-term epidemiologic and economic impact of quadrivalent HPV(qHPV;6/11/16/18) vaccination program in Indonesia. Methods: A previously validated transmission dynamic model was used to estimate the long-term epidemiologic and economic consequences of quadrivalent HPV vaccination by comparing cost-effectiveness of 2 dose qHPV vaccination strategy for girls 11-12 years old (with or without catch up; catch up dose for 12-26 years) versus Screening Only (Pap Smear) for reducing cost related to HPV type 6,11,16,18 (cervical cancer, CIN 1, CIN 2/3, and genital warts). Costs of an HPV disease episode-of-care (diagnosis and treatment) were ...

Data on the current burden of adenocarcinoma (ADC) and histology-specific human papillomavirus (HPV) type distribution are relevant to predict the future impact of prophylactic HPV vaccines. We estimate the proportion of ADC in invasive cervical cancer, the global number of cases of cervical ADC in 2015, the effect of cervical screening on ADC, the number of ADC cases attributable to high-risk HPV types -16, -18, -45, -31 and -33, and the potential impact of HPV vaccination using a variety of data sources including: GLOBOCAN 2008, Cancer Incidence in Five Continents (CI5) Volume IX, cervical screening data from the World Health Organization/Institut Català dOncologia Information Centre on HPV and cervical cancer, and published literature. ADC represents 9.4% of all ICC although its contribution varies greatly by country and region. The global crude incidence rate of cervical ADC in 2015 is estimated at 1.6 cases per 100,000 women, and the projected worldwide incidence of ADC in 2015 is 56,805 new

Carly Weeks. This fall, Ontario will become the latest province to expand its publicly funded human papillomavirus vaccination program to boys, Health Minister Eric Hoskins announced Thursday at Toronto General Hospital.. We all want our children, regardless of gender, to grow up happy and healthy, he said. We need to do whatever we can to protect young people from this cancer-causing virus.. Dr. Hoskins said the province is also moving the program up a year, meaning all Ontario students will ‎now be offered the vaccine in Gr. 7 instead of Gr. 8. The change is being done, in part, to save money by bundling the HPV vaccine with other needles given to students in that school year.. The total cost of the program will be about $15-million once boys are added, Dr. Hoskins said.. The announcement comes after growing public pressure from groups like the Canadian Cancer Society, the Canadian Medical Association, the National Advisory Committee on Immunization and the Society for Obstetricians and ...
The research, led by the University of New South Wales and carried out in collaboration with the University of Sydney, was based on hospital admissions between 1999 and 2011 that involved a diagnosis of genital warts.They found there was a 90% overall reduction in hospital admissions between 2006-07 and 2010-11 among girls aged 12-17 years. There was a 73% decrease among women aged 18-26 years.And the vaccine appeared to have an indirect protective effect among young men aged 18-26 years, with a 38% drop in genital warts cases requiring hospital admission. A 90% drop in genital warts among girls aged 12-17 years has reaffirmed the success of the National Human Papillomavirus Vaccination Program, according to new data.
The availability of prophylactic human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccines has provided powerful tools for primary prevention of cervical cancer and other HPV-associated diseases. Since 2006, the quadrivalent and bivalent vaccines have each been licensed in over 100 countries. By the beginning of 2012, HPV vaccine had been introduced into national immunization programs in at least 40 countries. Australia, the United Kingdom, the United States, and Canada were among the first countries to introduce HPV vaccination. In Europe, the number of countries having introduced vaccine increased from 3 in 2007 to 22 at the beginning of 2012. While all country programs target young adolescent girls, specific target age groups vary as do catch-up recommendations. Different health care systems and infrastructure have resulted in varied implementation strategies, with some countries delivering vaccine in schools and others through health centers or primary care providers. Within the first 5 years after vaccines ...

HPV vaccine acceptability for an adolescent daughter was associated with womens beliefs about their own healthcare needs. These findings on the HPV vaccination decisions of women in North Carolina offer insights that can inform future health communication activities intended to increase vaccination
HPV vaccines have great potential to reduce the morbidity and the mortality that are associated with HPV infections, with the first HPV vaccine recently licensed by the FDA17 and other vaccines under development.11,12 In a national survey of pediatricians, conducted before HPV vaccine licensure, we found a high degree of overall acceptance for the use of an HPV vaccine that is directed against cervical cancer and genital warts. Eighty-nine percent of surveyed pediatricians intended to use a quadrivalent HPV vaccine for at least some groups of adolescents, although respondents were more likely to foresee vaccinating older rather than younger adolescents and female rather than male patients. In fact, only 46% of respondents anticipated giving HPV vaccine to 10- to 12-year-old females, and some respondents were concerned about parents negative reactions to the idea of vaccinating young adolescents against a sexually transmitted infection. These findings should be examined in the context of ...

The considerable morbidity and mortality associated with certain human papillomaviruses (HPV) has provided the impetus for HPV vaccine development. The design of such vaccines has evolved from an understanding of the nature of HPV infections and their consequences, together with evaluation of the efficacy of different approaches to vaccination in animal models. These studies have culminated in the production of several different vaccine preparations which are currently undergoing Phase I and II clinical trials. The justification for the widespread implementation of prophylactic HPV vaccines will depend on the outcome of larger scale studies of vaccine efficacy that take into account the epidemiology of HPV infections and associated disease. The usefulness of therapeutic HPV vaccines will require evidence that they can substantially augment or substitute for the effectiveness of currently available treatments. ...

HPV vaccine prevents cervical cancer.. Each year in Ireland over 300 women develop cervical cancer and over 90 die from the disease.. HPV vaccine is a safe and effective vaccine.. HPV vaccine does not cause any long term medical condition.. In countries with high HPV vaccine uptake such as Australia and Scotland precancerous growths of the cervix have been reduced by more than half.. In Scotland research has shown there has been a 90% fall in cancer causing HPV infections in vaccinated girls. These new findings indicate that the positive impact of the HPV vaccine may be even greater than was initially thought. The HPV vaccination programme in Scotland has achieved a consistently high uptake of around 90% in 12- to 13-year-old girls.. Scottish Microbiological Society https://www.microbiologysociety.org/news/hpv-immunisation-campaign-causes-massive-reduction-in-prevalence-of-cancer-causing-virus-in-scottish-women.html (April 2017).

This study provided updated information on the uptake rate of HPV vaccination in Hong Kong, knowledge and attitude of adolescent girls towards cervical cancer prevention, as well as the drivers and barriers to HPV vaccination. The findings would be useful for the development of future strategies to improve vaccine uptake rate. The uptake rate of HPV vaccination was low with over half of the respondents in pre-contemplation and contemplation stage, and there was a knowledge gap on cervical cancer prevention. Knowledge scores, reasonable cost of vaccination, parents education level, family income, comments from friends and relatives, perception of cancer being horrifying disease, and knowing more about the linkage of HPV infection to cancer prevention were found to be significant factors for initiation of vaccine by uni-variate analysis. Multivariate analysis identified three independent significant factors associated with initiation of vaccine: perception of cancer as terrifying disease, school ...
Authors: Almeida CM, Tiro JA, Rodriguez MA, Diamant AL. Title: Evaluating associations between sources of information, knowledge of the human papillomavirus, and human papillomavirus vaccine uptake for adult women in California.. Journal: Vaccine 30(19):3003-8. Date: 2012 Apr 19. Abstract: OBJECTIVE: Vaccines have the potential to reduce morbidity from HPV infections if age-eligible patients receive and parents know about them. Content analyses have demonstrated significant range in the quality of HPV information obtained from different sources. The purpose of this study was to determine the pattern of associations between information source and level of knowledge about HPV and vaccine receipt/intention. METHODS: We analyzed the 2007 California Health Interview Survey, a population-based, statewide random digit dial survey, using data on adult females ages 18-65 who had heard about HPV (n=16,806). One-way ANOVA and multivariate logistic regression assessed the associations between source of ...
Cervical cancer is a major public health problem in Malawi. The age-standardized incidence and mortality rates are estimated to be 75.9 and 49.8 per 100,000 population, respectively. The availability of the human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine presents an opportunity to reduce the morbidity and mortality associated with cervical cancer. In 2013, the country introduced a school-class-based HPV vaccination pilot project in two districts. The aim of this study was to evaluate HPV vaccine coverage, lessons learnt and challenges identified during the first three years of implementation. This was an evaluation of the HPV vaccination project targeting adolescent girls aged 9-13 years conducted in Malawi from 2013 to 2016. We analysed programme data, supportive supervision reports and minutes of National HPV Task Force meetings to determine HPV vaccine coverage, reasons for partial or no vaccination and challenges. Administrative coverage was validated using a community-based coverage survey. A total of 26,766 in

In late 2014, the US Food and Drug Administration approved a 9-valent human papillomavirus vaccine. In early 2015, the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices made the recommendation that it be offered as one of the available HPV vaccines this country. The vaccine, made by Merck, is known commercially as Gardasil 9 and generically as Human Papillomavirus 9-valent Vaccine, Recombinant (9vHPV).. This change in the vaccine will make HPV vaccination more broadly effective; 9vHPV protects against HPV strains that cause 90% of cervical cancers - as compared with the quadrivalent vaccine, whose two oncogenic strains account for approximately 68% of cervical cancers in the United States. Moreover, the new vaccine may provide protection to subgroups of women who are more vulnerable to HPV types not in the bivalent and quadrivalent vaccines.. A 2013 poster based on a study in a Duke University-affiliated clinic presented the finding that African American women with abnormal Pap smears were two times ...

We present the first evaluation of sexual activity-related outcomes after adolescent HPV vaccination in the recommended age range of 11 to 12 years to use clinical outcomes and show that receipt of HPV vaccine is not associated with an increased rate of sexual activity-related outcomes. This studys results are not limited by the use of self-reported surveys,26,27 and instead use administrative data from a large MCO. This study provides a clinical validation and extends our understanding of numerous surveys reporting that most young women did not plan to modify their sexual behaviors after HPV vaccination.15,19-25 Although most previous surveys have been cross-sectional, a recent longitudinal survey conducted in the United Kingdom documented no difference in the proportion of women reporting initiation of sexual activity after HPV vaccination30; however, that study was conducted in women aged 16 to 18, of whom 37% had already become sexually active.30 In our analysis, HPV vaccination at ages 11 ...
Our analysis demonstrated that under most assumptions, the prophylactic vaccination against HPV-16 and HPV-18 had an ICER between US$7,000 and US$27,000 per QALY gained in the vaccinated adolescent girls in Taiwan. The ICER would remain below US$30,000 per QALY unless the vaccine efficacy declined to less than 38% or if the immunity waned and required booster shots every 10 years (Figure 4). If the vaccination cost could be reduced to below US$277, then the HPV vaccination would cost less than US$10,000 per QALY gained, indicating a potential for further enhancement of cost-effectiveness. Although there has been no domestic consensus on the threshold of the cost-effectiveness ratio for the National Health Insurance system to decide whether to reimburse a new medical intervention, the results of our analysis suggest that prophylactic vaccination against oncogenic HPV administered in preadolescent girls in Taiwan would be usually cost-effective based on the World Health Organization proposed ...
Vaccines stimulate a persons immune system to produce an adequate reaction against a specific infectious agent; i.e. the person is protected from that disease without having to get it first. As vaccines are administrated to healthy subjects, they are held to the highest standards of safety. Regarding human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccines, at present three prophylactic vaccines are licensed (bivalent HPV 16/18, quadrivalent HPV 6/11/16/18 and the nonovalent HPV 6/11/16/18/31/33/45/52/58 vaccine). Pre- and post-licensure studies (i.e. not yet for nonovalent HPV vaccine) confirm that HPV vaccines are generally safe and well-tolerated, site injections symptoms are the most common adverse events (AEs) reported, and pain is the most frequently referred local symptom. Serious AEs are rare and not associated with severe sequelae, at least no vaccine-related deaths have occurred. Despite these scientific evidences, it is still difficult to explain to the population the importance of a good vaccination ...
ABSTRACT:. OBJECTIVE: Previous surveys on hypothesized sexual activity changes after human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccination may be subject to self-response biases. To date, no studies measured clinical markers of sexual activity after HPV vaccination. This study evaluated sexual activity-related clinical outcomes after adolescent vaccination.. METHODS: We conducted a retrospective cohort study utilizing longitudinal electronic data from a large managed care organization. Girls enrolled in the managed care organization, aged 11 through 12 years between July 2006 and December 2007, were classified by adolescent vaccine (HPV; tetanus toxoid, reduced diphtheria toxoid, and acellular pertussis, adsorbed; quadrivalent meningococcal conjugate) receipt. Outcomes (pregnancy/sexually transmitted infection testing or diagnosis; contraceptive counseling) were assessed through December 31, 2010, providing up to 3 years of follow-up. Incidence rate ratios comparing vaccination categories were estimated with ...
Now there is a new Gardasil vaccine containing nine strains of HPV - 6, 11, 16, 18, 31, 33, 45, 52, 58.. What most people do not realize is that there are over 200 strains of HPV. Some of those strains are the cause of the warts that we see often on our hands and feet that can come and go by themselves. Around 40 of those strains are sexually transmitted with around 30 strains capable of causing cancerous changes to the body. Most sexually active people will have one or more HPVs in their lifetime, mostly they will show no outward signs and most HPV-induced cervical cell changes are transient, and 90% regress spontaneously within 12 to 36 months as the immune system eliminates the virus. The only way to detect cervical cancer is a PAP smear test.. Studies suggest that whether a woman will develop cervical cancer depends on a variety of additional factors as well as her having a high-risk HPV, but that the HPV on its own may not be sufficient for the development of cervical cancer. Smoking ...
As immunization programs for human papillomavirus (HPV) are implemented more widely around the world, interest is increasing in measuring their impact. One early measurable impact of HPV vaccine is on the prevalence of specific HPV types in a population. In low-resource settings, a potentially attractive strategy would be to monitor HPV prevalence using clinical cervical cancer screening test results to triage specimens for HPV typing. We assessed this approach in a nationally representative population of U.S. females aged 14-59 years. Using self-collected cervico-vaginal swab specimens from 4,150 women participating in the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey during 2003-2006, we evaluated type-specific HPV prevalence detected by the Roche linear array (LA) research test on all specimens, compared with type-specific HPV prevalence detected by LA conducted only on specimens positive by the digene hybrid capture 2 (HC-2) clinical test. We calculated weighted prevalence estimates and ...

To evaluate the association between human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccination and serious adverse events in adolescent girls in South Korea.Cohort study.A large linked database created by linking the Korea Immunization Registry Information System and the National Health Information Database, between January 2017 and December 2019.441 399 girls aged 11-14 years who had been vaccinated in 2017: 382 020 had been vaccinated against HPV and 59 379 had not been vaccinated against HPV.Outcomes were 33 serious adverse events, including endocrine, gastrointestinal, cardiovascular, musculoskeletal, haematological, dermatological, and neurological diseases. A cohort design was used for the primary analysis and a self-controlled risk interval design for the secondary analysis; both analyses used a risk period of one year after HPV vaccination for each outcome. Incidence rate and adjusted rate ratios were estimated using Poisson regression in the primary analysis, comparing the HPV vaccinated group with the HPV ...
Background. Poor knowledge about cervical cancer plays a role in limiting screening uptake. HPV vaccination provides an untested platform to distribute information that could possibly improve knowledge and screening coverage. Objective. To measure changes in knowledge and screening uptake when information and screening opportunities were provided tomothers of adolescent HPV vaccine recipients. Methods. During an HPV vaccine implementation project in the Western Cape (WC) and Gauteng Province (GP), South Africa, information about cervical cancer was provided to parents during a lecture, written information was distributed, and mothers were then invited to either screen at their clinic (WC) or use a self-screening kit (GP). A structured questionnaire was used to test cervical cancer knowledge and screening practices, comparing these before and after the project and between the two screening groups. Results. Complete data for both questionnaires were available for 777 of 906 recruited women. Initial
Source: The Lancet. Summary: Background. Australia introduced a human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccination programme with the quadrivalent HPV vaccine for all women aged 12-26 years between 2007 and 2009. We analysed trends in cervical abnormalities in women in Victoria, Australia, before and after introduction of the vaccination program.. Methods. With data from the Victorian Cervical Cytology Registry between 2003 and 2009, we compared the incidence of histopathologically defined high-grade cervical abnormalities (HGAs, lesions coded as cervical intraepithelial neoplasia of grade 2 or worse or adenocarcinoma in situ; primary outcome) and low-grade cytological abnormalities (LGAs) in five age groups before (Jan 1, 2003, to March 31, 2007) and after (April 1, 2007, to Dec 31, 2009) the vaccination programme began. Binary comparisons between the two periods were done with Fishers exact test. Poisson piecewise regression analysis was used to compare incident rate trends.. Findings. After the ...

Methods: This was a cross-sectional, mixed methods study conducted in Kitui Central Division of Kitui County where the Ministry of Health is administering the quadrivalent HPV vaccine to all ...
Background. The incidence of cervical cancer in South Africa (SA) remains high, and the current screening programme has had limited success. New approaches to prevention and screening tactics are needed. Objectives. To investigate acceptance of school-based human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccination, as well as the information provided, methods of obtaining consent and assent, and completion rates achieved. Methods. Information on cervical cancer and HPV vaccination was provided to 19 primary schools in Western Cape and Gauteng provinces participating in the study. Girls with parental consent and child assent were vaccinated during school hours at their schools. Results. A total of 3 465 girls were invited to receive HPV vaccine, of whom 2 046 provided written parental consent as well as child assent. At least one dose of vaccine was delivered to 2 030 girls (99.2% of the consented cohort), while a total of 1 782 girls received all three doses. Sufficient vaccination was achieved in 91.6% of the
Cervical cancer incidence and mortality rates are high, particularly in developing countries. Most cervical cancers can be prevented by human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccination, screening, and timely treatment. The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) provides global technical assistance for implementation and evaluation of HPV vaccination pilot projects and programs and laboratory-related HPV activities to assess HPV vaccines. CDC collaborates with global partners to develop global cervical cancer screening recommendations and manuals, implement screening, create standardized evaluation tools, and provide expertise to monitor outcomes. CDC also trains epidemiologists in cancer prevention through its Field Epidemiology Training Program and is working to improve cancer surveillance by supporting efforts of the World Health Organization in developing cancer registry hubs and assisting countries in estimating costs for developing population-based cancer registries. These activities ...
Cervical cancer is a malignant tumor of the cervix, a part of the female reproductive tract. Recent studies have found the human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine to be efficient in preventing high-grade cervical lesions. However, the exact effects and efficacy of the vaccine are not known. This study aims to evaluate the association between quadrivalent HPV vaccination and the risk of invasive cervical cancer.. This study included an open population of 1,672,983 girls and women aged 10-30 years. The researchers evaluated the association between HPV vaccination and the risk of invasive cervical cancer, keeping factors like follow-up and parental characteristics in check. The primary outcome of the study was the subsequent risk of invasive cervical cancer after HPV vaccination.. The included participants were evaluated for cervical cancer until they turned 31. The findings suggested that cervical cancer was reported in 19 women who had undergone quadrivalent HPV vaccination. In comparison, 438 women ...

Title:Human Papillomavirus (HPV) Vaccines as an Option for Preventing Cervical Malignancies: (How) Effective and Safe?. VOLUME: 19 ISSUE: 8. Author(s):Lucija Tomljenovic, Jean Pierre Spinosa and Christopher A. Shaw. Affiliation:Neural Dynamics Research Group, Department of Ophthalmology and Visual Sciences, University of British Columbia, 828 W. 10th Ave, Vancouver, BC, V5Z 1L8, Canada.. Keywords:HPV vaccines, Gardasil, Cervarix, adverse reactions, vaccine efficacy, vaccine safety, conflict of interests, clinical trials, cervical cancers, safety profile. Abstract:We carried out a systematic review of HPV vaccine pre- and post-licensure trials to assess the evidence of their effectiveness and safety. We find that HPV vaccine clinical trials design, and data interpretation of both efficacy and safety outcomes, were largely inadequate. Additionally, we note evidence of selective reporting of results from clinical trials (i.e., exclusion of vaccine efficacy figures related to study subgroups in ...
According to a recent study, a quadrivalent human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine is effective in preventing high-grade vulval and vaginal lesions that can lead to cancers in those areas.. Vaccine efficacy varied from 71% in women previously exposed to the human papillomaviruses to 100% in those not previously exposed. Additionally, a 49% reduction in all high-grade vulval and vaginal lesions, irrespective of casual HPV type, was seen in the intention-to-treat population of sexually active young women. ...
HIV Vaccine Awareness Day (HVAD) is observed annually on May 18th. This observance provides an opportunity to recognize and thank the many people who are working together to find a safe and effective preventive HIV vaccine.
Human papilloma virus (HPV) is the most common sexually transmitted infection in the USA with 6.2 million new cases diagnosed annually.1 The majority of infections are asymptomatic, but high-risk HPV types act as a carcinogen in the development of cervical and anogenital cancers.2 In June 2006, the Food and Drug Administration licensed a quadrivalent HPV vaccine (GARDASIL, Merck, Whitehouse Station, New Jersey) for females aged 9 to 26 years. To our knowledge there are no reports of HPV-related intraocular inflammation and no reports of quadrivalent HPV vaccine-related ocular inflammation. We report a case of ampiginous choroiditis following the administration of the quadrivalent HPV vaccine. ...
Background: Cervical cancer (CC) is the fourth most commonly diagnosed cancer among women. Ghana is a low-middle- income country with annual diagnosed cases of 3,151 and 2,119 deaths. The high prevalence rate of cervical cancer in Ghana is mainly due to ineffective preventive measures and insufficient knowledge about the disease. Therefore, our objective was to evaluate the level of knowledge and awareness of cervical cancer and attitude toward human papillomavirus and its vaccine among Ghanaians.Methods: This descriptive cross-sectional survey on the awareness of cervical cancer and attitude toward human papillomavirus and its vaccine was carried out from March 2019 to February 2020. SPSS v. 23.0 was used in the data analysis. The participants demographic characteristics, knowledge of cervical carcinoma, human papillomavirus vaccine and HPV, and the likelihood to be vaccinated were represented as percentages and frequencies. The difference between males and females was assessed using the chi-square
Data about the publics awareness and acceptability of the human papilloma virus [‎HPV]‎vaccine are lacking in the Eastern Mediterranean Region. This study aimed to explore parental acceptability of HPV vaccination for their ...
Human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccination coverage lags behind coverage for the other vaccines recommended for preteens, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).1 A recent report about vaccination coverage in the United States among adolescents aged 13 to 17 found that rates of vaccination have increased since the HPV vaccine was introduced for females in 2006 and for males in 2011.2 Still, coverage remains substantially lower than for tetanus, diphtheria, and acellular pertussis vaccine and for meningococcal conjugate vaccine.. To help close that gap, the CDC encourages clinicians to recommend HPV vaccination in the same way and on the same day that they recommend other routinely recommended vaccines for patients at age 11 or 12 years. In addition, the CDC suggests effectively recommending HPV vaccination by bundling the recommendation for all vaccines for preteens, with HPV vaccine in the middle.. Safe for Most Young People. The CDC recommends routine HPV ...

Jan 27, 2011. Controversy over the safety of the human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine has led to a resolution to end mandates requiring young girls to receive it. If passed by the Virginia state Senate, a bill recently passed by the Virginia House of Delegates will end mandates put into place in 2007 requiring 11- and 12-year-old girls to receive the HPV vaccine before entering sixth grade.. We just want to make sure parents are evaluating the risks of what theyre giving their daughters, and not a legislative body, said Del. Kathy J. Byron (R-Lynchburg), sponsor of the bill. I dont think that we have the medical degree to make those decisions.. The House voted 61-33 to end the mandate, leaving only Washington D.C. with HPV vaccine mandates. Texas Gov. Rick Perry attempted to mandate the HPV vaccine for young girls in 2007 through an executive order, but lawmakers effectively blocked it.. Merck and Co.s Gardasil and GlaxoSmithKlines Cervarix are the two HPV vaccines approved by the U.S. ...
The base study (V501-020) encompassed Day 1 through Month 7, during which time participants received randomly assigned Gardasil™ (qHPV vaccine) or placebo at Day 1, Month 2, and Month 6. Base study follow-up continued through Month 36.. The base study was extended in protocol V501-020-10 Extension 1 (EXT1). Participants who received placebo and participants who received only 1 dose of qHPV vaccine in the base study were offered a complete 3-dose qHPV vaccine regimen (administered at EXT1 Day 1, Month 2 and Month 6). Participants who received only 2 doses of qHPV vaccine in the base study were offered a single additional dose of qHPV vaccine (administered at EXT1 Day 1). Participants were followed to EXT1 Month 7.. A second extension study, V501-020-21 (EXT2), will estimate the long-term safety and effectiveness of qHPV vaccine during a period of 10 years following initial enrollment in the base study. Subjects who received at least one dose of qHPV vaccine in either the base study or EXT1 are ...

Japans Ministry of Health is exposing the destructive side effects of popular HPV vaccines such as Gardasil and Cervarix, promoted worldwide. To date, some 3.28 million Japanese people have been exclusively inoculated with these HPV vaccines. To date, 1,968 adverse cases have been reported to the Japanese government, detailing serious medical side effects, reports the Tokyo Times.. Gardasil is manufactured by Merck and Cervarix is ​​manufactured by GlaxoSmithKline.. The Japanese are reporting side effects ranging from prolonged pain and numbness to infertility and paralysis. Because of these complaints, the Japanese government decided to withdraw its support for these widespread and controversial HPV vaccines.. The government of Japan is concerned about about 2,000 adverse reactions from the HPV vaccine.. HPV vaccines have not been paralyzed or suspended in Japan. The government is just not actively promoting their use anymore. These HPV vaccines are still available for free to girls, ...
Vaccines or candidate vaccines used to prevent PAPILLOMAVIRUS INFECTIONS. Human vaccines are intended to reduce the incidence of UTERINE CERVICAL NEOPLASMS, so they are sometimes considered a type of CANCER VACCINES. They are often composed of CAPSID PROTEINS, especially L1 protein, from various types of ALPHAPAPILLOMAVIRUS ...
A non profit organization initially led by the Cervical Cancer Prevention Network (CECAP) for the Cancer Institute Foundation (CIF), Bravehearts is dedicated to raising awareness on cervical cancer prevention. Bravehearts is currently supported by a growing number of women, including prominent personalities such as Abbygale Arenas-de Leon, who is the current president of the organization, Senator Loren Legarda, Pia Magalona, Ellen Tordesillas, Tessa Prieto-Valdes, Jeena Lopez, Maimai Davao, Joyette Jopson and Suzi Entrata.. The organization has held successful seminars and projects with the help of its partner organizations and companies. One of its more prominent events is the biking event, The Tour of Hope (TTOH). The tour was introduced in the Philippines in 2008 through the collaboration of GlaxoSmithKline Philippines and the UP Cancer Institute Foundations Cervical Cancer Prevention (CECAP) network program in strategic partnership with Team Davids Salon, the first all woman sports team in ...
Situation. Human papilloma virus (HPV) vaccination is a sensitive issue. There are many barriers to vaccination and the uptake in Asia is low. A survey in Korea, Malaysia, Taiwan and Thailand of 480 physicians and 1617 randomly selected urban mothers found that the likelihood of physicians raising the subject and/or recommending vaccination was linked to their knowledge of HPV and their attitude or sensitivity to the subject. Mothers rejection of HPV vaccination was linked to poor knowledge and low perceptions of relevance of the vaccine.1. Because most Asian mothers seek doctors advice and prefer them to take the initiative, physicians should be more proactive in discussing and recommending HPV vaccination.. Key initiative. A 1.5-day annual meeting that included workshops and materials on communication was organised, with the goal of enabling physicians to effectively communicate with patients on this issue. Topics covered included how to sensitively respond to questions/misconceptions about ...
Considering the cost-effectiveness of cervical cancer prevention implementation in the Netherlands as a reference, this study generates comprehensive evidence on cervical cancer prevention strategies in Indonesia, particularly HPV vaccination and cervical screening. Using several concepts form health economic evaluations, this study also showed that, using societal and governmental perspectives, the addition of HPV vaccination on top of cervical screening will provide substantial benefits. In addition, the identification of potential challenges for developing countries in general and Indonesia in particular, several implementation strategies should be considered in Indonesia in order to significantly reduce the cervical cancer-related burden ...
Regression of the papillomas was achieved by administering a series of experimental vaccinations starting at the time of the last surgery. The vaccine consisted of systemically administered canine oral papillomavirus major coat protein L1 that has been shown to self-assemble into virus-like particles. They cause a humoral response that has been shown to prevent the onset and development of papillomas ...
There are currently three HPV vaccines: Gardasil (made by Merck; also known as Silgard), Gardasil-9 (also made by Merck), and Cervarix (made by GlaxoSmithKline). All three have been approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA), Health Canada, and the European Medicines Agency (EMA). Gardasil-9 is still awaiting approval in the UK. There are now demonstration projects that are bringing HPV vaccines to girls and women in low-income countries as well.. In the US, Gardasil products have been approved for females and males ages 9 to 26, while Cervarix has been approved for females ages 10 to 25. Gardasil -9 will soon be the only HPV vaccine available in the US.. The vaccines protect against types of HPV that cause the majority of cervical cancers and genital warts. Recent studies have shown that these vaccines can also provide protection against HPV-related vaginal cancers, vulvar cancers, and anal cancer in women. The vaccines do not protect against less common HPV types. Therefore, health ...
Human papillomavirus (HPV) infection causes cervical cancer, a significant portion of anal, genital and oropharyngeal cancers, genital warts and recurrent respiratory papillomatosis. In June 2006, a prophylactic HPV vaccine (Gardasil®; Merck, NJ, USA) was licensed in the USA, with subsequent approval granted in the European Union. Gardasil® is a quadrivalent HPV protein-based vaccine containing genotype-specific L1 capsid proteins of HPV-16, HPV-18, HPV-6 and HPV-11 in the form of virus-like particles as the active ingredient, which are produced by a DNA recombinant technology in yeast ...

In an open letter to the head of the World Health Organization, Dr. Sing Hang Lee, MD, the director of the Milford Molecular Diagnostics Laboratory in Milford, Connecticut, claims members of the WHOs Global Advisory Committee on Vaccine Safety (GACVS) deliberately manipulated scientific data relating to the safety of HPV vaccines Gardasil® and Cervarix®.. The letter states that the emails, obtained via a Freedom of Information request, clearly demonstrate members of the GAVCS, the CDC and the Japanese Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare knew before the February 26, 2014 Tokyo public hearing that one of their own experts showed scientific evidence that HPV vaccination does increase cytokines, including tumor necrosis factor (TNF), particularly at the injection site compared to other vaccines. This increase can be attributed to HPV L1 gene DNA fragments, the viral DNA fragments, in the HPV vaccines that bind to aluminum adjuvants. This mechanism explains why serious adverse reactions occur ...
It has been given to teenage girls in UK since 2008, and was last year made available to schoolboys at the age of 12 and 13 for the first time.. Currently 3,200 cases of cervical cancer are diagnosed every year in Britain, leading to more than two deaths a day.. But this research suggests cervical cancer cases will drop sharply over the next few years as more and more people are vaccinated, with experts hopeful the disease could eventually be eliminated.. Co-author Professor Pär Sparén, from the Department of Medical Epidemiology at the Karolinska Institutet in Sweden, said: Girls vaccinated at a young age seem to be more protected, probably because they are less likely to have been exposed to HPV infection and given that HPV vaccination has no therapeutic effect against a pre-existing infection.. Our study shows that HPV vaccination may significantly reduce the risk of cervical cancer, especially if completed at an early age.. Our data strongly supports continuing HPV vaccinations of ...
|i|Background|/i|. HPV vaccination may prevent thousands of cases of cervical cancer. We aimed to evaluate the understanding and acceptance of the HPV vaccine among adolescents. |i|Methods|/i|. A questionnaire was distributed to adolescents at health clinics affiliated with a large urban hospital system to determine knowledge pertaining to sexually transmitted diseases and acceptance of the HPV vaccine. |i|Results|/i|. 223 adolescents completed the survey. 28% were male, and 70% were female. The mean age for respondents was 16 years old. Adolescents who had received the HPV vaccine were more likely to be female and to have heard of cervical cancer and Pap testing. Of the 143 adolescents who had not yet been vaccinated, only 4% believed that they were at risk of HPV infection and 52% were willing to be vaccinated. |i|Conclusions|/i|. Surveyed adolescents demonstrated a marginal willingness to receive the HPV vaccine and a lack of awareness of personal risk for acquiring HPV.
The FDA approves Gardasil, a vaccine that prevents infection with the two high-risk strains of human papillomavirus (HPV) known to cause about 70 percent of cervical cancers. The vaccine is approved for girls and young women aged 9 to 26. The approval is based on data showing the vaccine is 100 percent effective in preventing HPV16- and HPV18-related cervical pre-cancers, as well as genital warts, for at least 4.5 years following vaccination. Later the same year, the CDCs Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) recommends routine HPV vaccination for girls aged 11 and 12; however, state requirements for HPV vaccinations vary. A second vaccine, Cervarix, was approved in 2009 to prevent infection against HPV16 and HPV18 in women aged 10 to 25. The cost of the three-dose regimen remains a persistent challenge to widespread HPV vaccination, with either version of the vaccine. Also in 2009, the Gardasil vaccine is approved for use in boys for the prevention of genital warts.. Gardasil is ...

The Federal Drug Administration (FDA) announced yesterday their decision to expand the use of the human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine, Gardasil, to prevent anal cancer and precancerous lesions. The HPV and Anal Cancer Foundation (the Foundation) testified in November before the FDA to urge the agency to approve Gardasil for the prevention of anal cancer in males and females.. As advocates for the anal cancer community and members of a family that recently lost someone to the disease, we know how difficult treatment can be for a patient diagnosed with anal cancer, said Justine Almada, co-founder of the Foundation. We applaud the FDA for approving the anal cancer indication for Gardasil; this indication will help to prevent future families from experiencing the devastating effects of the disease. As HPV causes as much as 90% of anal cancer cases, the vaccine has the potential to significantly curb the number of anal cancer diagnoses. This is a great step towards eliminating anal cancer and other ...
Recognizing a critical need to improve national vaccination rates for the human papillomavirus (HPV), the UAB Comprehensive Cancer Center has again united with each of the 69 National Cancer Institute (NCI)-designated cancer centers in issuing a joint statement in support of recently revised recommendations from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).. According to the CDC, incidence rates of HPV-associated cancers have continued to rise, with approximately 39,000 new HPV-associated cancers now diagnosed each year in the United States. Although HPV vaccines can prevent the majority of cervical, anal, oropharyngeal (middle throat) and other genital cancers, vaccination rates remain low across the U.S., with just 41.9 percent of girls and 28.1 percent of boys completing the recommend vaccine series.. The new guidelines from the CDC recommend that children aged 11 to 12 should receive two doses of the HPV vaccine at least six months apart. Adolescents and young adults older than 15 ...
Texas has passed legislation to require all girls ages 11-12 to receive the HPV vaccine before entering 6th grade. Some have responded to this by claiming that the government is taking control away from parents, and that this is simply a money-making venture for Merck, producer of the Gardasil vaccine, the only currently approved HPV vaccine. Merck certainly has a financial interest in having as many girls as possible vaccinated, and this New York Times article suggests the company is actively lobbying state legislatures to require vaccination. However, the executive order signed by the TX Governor makes no specific mention of Merck; it refers only to HPV vaccine. When other companies get their vaccines (which are already in development) approved, Texas parents and doctors would be able to choose among them. Likewise, parents may opt out of the program on behalf of their children, by this provision: The Department of State Health Services will, in order to protect the right of parents to be ...

The campaign to immunize children to protect against the cancer-causing human papillomavirus (HPV) has never quite gone mainstream.. And new research from University of Utah College of Nursing Assistant Professor and Huntsman Cancer Institute investigator Deanna Kepka, Ph.D., M.P.H., reveals just how difficult it might be to meet national objectives for herd immunity.. In a paper released in Cancer Epidemiology, Biomarkers & Prevention, Jan. 14, Kepka and her co-principal investigator, medical geographer Kevin Henry, found that vaccination rates for girls are highest in high-poverty, homogeneous Hispanic communities.. Using data from the Centers for Disease Control and Preventions (CDC) 2011 and 2012 annual National Immunization Survey-Teen, Kepka and Henry reported 69 percent of Hispanic girls between 13 and 17 years old had initiated the three-dose vaccine. In contrast, girls living in majority white, non-Hispanic communities had the lowest rate of HPV vaccine initiation - 50 percent. ...
The cervical cancer vaccine Gardasil, produced by Merck and Sanofi, may be more cost effective than its competitor GlaxoSmithKlines Cervarix, according to new data published in the British Medical Journal (BMJ 2011; 343:d5775). However, the differential benefits of both remains unclear, say researchers from the Health Protection Agency. - News - PharmaTimes
We report the course of a 16-year-old girl who presented with near complete visual loss associated with chiasmal neuritis and a biopsy proven tumefactive demyelinating lesion on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in association with a recent immunization against human papilloma virus. She had received her second vaccination against human papilloma virus 10 days prior to her presentation. Larger epidemiologic studies will be needed to confirm a role of the human papilloma virus immunization and demyelinating disease. September 19, 2008 - CNS demyelination and quadrivalent HPV vaccination. - journal article (Multiple Sclerosis) - We report five patients who presented with multifocal or atypical demyelinating syndromes within 21 days of immunization with the quadrivalent human papilloma virus (HPV) vaccine, Gardasil((R)). Although the target population for vaccination, young females, has an inherently high risk for MS, the temporal association with demyelinating events in these cases may be ...
Results The 4vHPV genotypes decreased from 20% in 2004/05 to 3% in 2014/15 (p trend , 0.001) among Australian-born men; and a greater decline was observed in Australian-born men aged ≤21 (from 31% to 0%; p trend, 0.001) in the last 11 years. No trends were observed in any HPV genotypes or in HPV 31/33/45/52/58. There was a decline in HPV 16/18 (p = 0.004) but not in HPV 6/11 (p = 0.172) in the post-vaccination period among men who recently arrived in Australia from countries with a bivalent vaccine programme. No change in 4vHPV in men from countries without any HPV vaccine programme. ...
