Malaysian Opinions

As we are in our last week of blogging , so he it comes the perspectives of Malaysians regarding HPV vaccine.
Based on our posts few days back , we can see that there's a lot of pros' and cons' of taking the vaccine.
However , in my opinion, there's a lot good sides than the bad sides . so, take a nice seat and browse your mouse to what other people say about this vaccination. 

**i managed to find these opinions easily on Facebook ;)

Here is what i get after do some google regarding this interested topic:
• Gardasil is given as a three dose series, with the second and third doses being given 2 to 6 months after the first dose.
• Gardasil is also approved for boys and men, ages 9 through 26, to prevent genital warts (condyloma acuminata) due to certain types of human papillomavirus (HPV).

good things you should know ;)

Is The Vaccine Effective Enough ?

In most researches, the Gardasil was 100% effective in preventing pre-cancerous changes in the cervix caused by HPV types 16 and 18.  Gardasil was also shown to be nearly 100% effective in preventing vulvar and vaginal pre-cancers and genital warts caused by HPV types 6 and 11. 

Cervarix was tested in girls not yet exposed to HPV types 16 and 18, it was 93% effective in preventing pre-cancerous changes in the cervix  caused by HPV types 16 and 18.



Both vaccines are less effective in young women who have already come in contact with the HPV types in the vaccine. However, if a young woman has been exposed only to one of the types, the vaccine still gives protection against the remaining types. So, even young women who have had sexual contact should get immunized. 
**this is why younger females should go for the second and third shots after their first one


HAPPY READING !

Do You Know ??

# HPV vaccine had reduced cervical cancer by 70%. 

# HPV vaccines (Cervarix and Gardasil), which prevent infection with the HPV types (16 and 18) that cause 70% of cervical cancer, may lead to further decreases.

# Gardasil also protect HPV types 6 and 11, which cause 90% of genital warts

# The World Health Organization (WHO) position paper on HPV vaccination clearly outlines appropriate, cost-effective strategies for using HPV vaccine in public sector programs.

# In most countries they are approved only for female use, but are approved for male use in relevant countries like USA and UK. The vaccine does not have any therapeutic effect on existing HPV infections or cervical lesions.
This has been supported by Malaysian Health Minister, Datuk Seri Liow Tiong Lai. She said that “The cabinet has accepted and approved the Health Ministry’s proposal to provide the HPV vaccine, which is 98 % effective in preventing cervical cancer for all Form One students.”

MOREOVER

U.S. statistics show there are 30 to 40 cervical cancer cases per , year per one million women between the ages of 9 and 26, which is the age bracket that Gardasil targets (and was tested on).

On the other hand, Gardasil was shown to reduce pre-cancers by 12.2% to 16.5% in the general population. So, instead of ending up with 30 to 40 cases of cancer per million, per year, in that age bracket, the HPV vaccine can potentially bring it down to 26 to 35 cases of cervical cancer.

It also says that in 90 percent of women infected, HPV clears up on its own within two years, at which point your cervical cells go back to normal. It is only when the HPV virus lingers for many years that these abnormal cells could turn into cancer.




so people , it's clear that HPV vaccines really helps women either preventing the disease or reducing it.

hopefuly, the info helps you !

reminder reminder ;D

Hello everybody ! (if you can see , we're waving at you :p)
 
Last time , we've talk a lot on how HPV vaccine is so related to cervical cancer among females.
However , I hope all of you didn't think that we're too focusing on cervical cancer in women or in other words , we're going far far away from our main idea - why people should go for HPV vaccine. 
 
FYI, we have to write a lot about cervical cancer itself to make sure you can get the idea , you know , if we write so much about the vaccine itself , you as the readers might find it hard to understand as there's no example that you can imagine.

so on the next post, our sweetie Wada will help you on the advantages of HPV vaccination.

happy reading ;)
