Who knows anything about the new vaccine for cervical cancer? |
Do you think it's a good or bad idea for my 10 & 14 year old daughters? Why or why not? Not on the market yet. It should be out by early next year. It is a good thing. I don't know why "Babe C" bothered to answer this question. Ignore her. Good question!!! I think every girl should have one. Since you do not know what the future holds, this will eliminate one worry. I have 2 daughters. We must do everything we can to protect them. c that is a question that you need to ask a professional medical personnel. also do your research on line it is better to be safe than sorry than ask opinions that may lead to results we don't want Personally, I think it's a good idea for all young girls and that it should be given in public schools like the hepititus vaccine (and hopefully hpv vacine) is given to Canadian students.. You can talk to your doctor about any medical concerns you have but, if you're worrying on the side of "omgz they'll think it's okay to have unprotected sex now!" the answer to that is proper education about other sexually transmitted infections and pregnancy but, I'm sure you know that by now. Yes. The following company's have developed vaccine for Cervical Cancer and they are very effective. It is also adviseable to give this to your daughters now itself as it will stop any possible infection. Do theyhave any heriditary history ? I mean you or their grand mothers have cthis carcinoma of CX (Cervical Cancer. Consult your doctor and give them Merck & Co. has developed a vaccine against four strains of HPV called Gardasil鈩? It is now on the market after receiving Food and Drug Administration approval on June 8, 2006. Gardasil is targeted at girls and women age 9 to 26 because the vaccine only works if given before infection occurs; therefore, they are targeting girls before they begin having sex. The use of the vaccine in men to prevent genital warts and interrupt transmission to women is initially considered only a secondary market. The high cost of this vaccine has been a cause for concern. Gardasil has received EU approval. Glaxosmithkline has developed a vaccine called Cervarix鈩?which has been shown to be 100% effective in preventing HPV strains 16 and 18 and is 100% effective for more than four years.The two HPV strains (16 and 18) together cause about 70% of cervical cancer cases. Cervarix should be approved by year's end. Types 16 and 18 are considered most risky ones Bulletins from National Center for Biotechnology Information A television show was talking about this a few days ago. The doctor was adamant about young women (virgins) receiving this shot and said that their daughter was vaccinated. I believe the girl was 11 or 12. I feel that anything you can do to boost the immune system, in this case, build antibodies that will protect the body from HPV can only be good, since HPV is linked to cervical cancer. Of course, it is ineffective against an infected person. http://www.abclocal.go.com/wls/story?sec... |
