What are HPV vaccine side effects, how it prevents cancer - TODAY What are HPV vaccine side effects, how it prevents cancer - TODAY Posted: 31 Jan 2020 01:04 PM PST The human papillomavirus , or HPV, is increasingly common in the United States: nearly 80 million people have it according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention . Some strains of the virus — which does not always show any visible symptoms — are known to cause cancer, especially in the reproductive and digestive systems. But, unlike some other viruses, there is a vaccine that can help prevent HPV and the cancers that stem from it. The vaccine , known by the brand name Gardasil, was developed to stop nine of the more dangerous strains of HPV from spreading. It has been so effective that some countries are reporting dramatic declines in HPV infection rates. In England, for example, less than 2% of 16- to 18-year-old females had these infections. Another study found...

Q&A: The Search for Lasting HPV Protection - MedPage Today Q&A: The Search for Lasting HPV Protection - MedPage Today Posted: 31 Jan 2020 01:00 PM PST Lauri E. Markowitz, MD, of the National Center for Immunization and Respiratory Diseases at the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, in Atlanta, spoke to MedPage Today about her study evaluating the effectiveness of the human papillomavirus vaccine (HPV) against HPV infection. What were the predominant issues that led you to undertake this retrospective analysis? Markowitz: The potential for a single-dose schedule to provide lasting protection against HPV infection is an attractive idea for public health worldwide, and we realized that our observational data included HPV infection outcomes from persons with one, two and three doses of vaccine to help evaluate a single-dose schedule. Post-hoc analyses of data from vaccine clinical trials suggest that single-dose HPV...
