A new government study finds human papillomavirus infections have declined dramatically in both vaccinated and unvaccinated teen girls and young women.
The CDC recommends two doses of the HPV vaccine for all girls and boys ages 11 to 12, but says the vaccine can be given as early as age 9. Data from 2019 showed that 72 percent of girls ages 13 to 17 had received one or more doses of the vaccine, Rosenblum said. And 54 percent had completed the series of shots.
“This is big news,” said Dr. Stephanie Blank, director of oncology at the Mount Sinai Health System. “When you’re doing a clinical trial, you don’t do a 10-year study. This study is giving the real-life impact of this vaccine.”The new study provides “proof of principle,” she said. “My main message is more people should get it, and the more who get it, the better it will work. This is really primary prevention for cancer.

With all the girls under house arrest, no one is getting... exposed to the virus anymore. It's not rocket science.
Yes, this is the effect of vaccinating a significant number in a population
Los virus del papiloma humano son muchos pero solo unos 15 son oncogenicos. Talvez ha disminuido su contagio porque la gente ahora se expone menos por causa de la pandemia.
Of course.
amazing, vaccines work to stop suffering and death, who knew
The Dr said that something along the lines of 1 in 3 have HPV at some point. It’s easy to pass around but potentially very hazardous to your health. I got the shots when they first came out and my son got them when he turned 12
