Australia on track to eliminate cervical cancer by 2035 amid rising HPV vaccination rates

“From a national screening program to vaccination, then the second generation vaccines, then changing to HPV screening, and now cervical sample self collection,” she said.

Only needing one dose would help, Saville said, especially if the vaccinations were still offered twice a year at schools to maximise uptake. While the vaccination is funded up to age 19, it can be prescribed for men up to 26 and women up to 45, if they are willing to pay for it. But while vaccinations at older ages may be beneficial – especially for those at higher risk of abnormalities – Saville said “the older you get the less likely it is to be effective”.In many cases, HPV goes away within a couple of years. Vaccination after that may prevent HPV reinfection, and may reduce but will not eliminate the chance of abnormalities.

Canfell said it was an exciting time and that Australia was well positioned to meet its target, but that it was important it did so “equitably” and while maintaining communication about lifesaving interventions.

How about showing some of the damage done by the HPV vaccine?

Except for Opus Dei students…and anti-vaxxers. Or does their anti-science stance just extend to COVID related issues and “gut feel”

Except for Opus Dei students.

Remember when Barnaby Joyce said this would encourage promiscuity? 'This week, a Four Corners episode aired claims that the Opus Dei-affiliated Tangara School for Girls discouraged students from getting the vaccination, claiming it would promote promiscuity.' oh, of course🤬
