HPV Vaccine


HPV vaccines are used to prevent the human papillomavirus (HPV) that causes cervical cancer in millions of women, but the use of these vaccines have been limited. Researchers claim the HPV vaccines are always an emotional subject that can confuse parents of the teenagers, but researchers are confused about unpopularity factor of the vaccines.

This year about 493,000 women will be diagnosed with cervical cancer, and 274,000 are expected to die from it. The situation is alarming but tendency of the people not to go for the vaccines is more surprising.

Gardasil vaccine is being used for cervical cancer treatment, and United States Food and Drug Administration even approved it to be used for girls and women aged between 9 and 26, but it was found that most people undergoing vaccines does not complete the doses, and some even don’t care about taking it.

Some view, that increasing price of the vaccine may be one factor for limited use, as each of these costs $360 to $600. Other factors like irregularity of the physicians and attitude of parents towards the vaccines are also responsible for low use. Still, parents and their children require more knowledge and awareness about the benefits of these vaccines.

Young girls and women often don’t take the HPV seriously, for they think the virus is not any way linked to cervical cancer. Its’ vital parents are made to think about the future health of their wards, and convince them to encourage their children to know more about the disease and its side effects.
