A decade on, vaccine has halved cervical cancer rate - BBC News

A decade on, vaccine has halved cervical cancer rate - BBC News | Immunopathology & Immunotherapy | Scoop.it
The world's first cancer vaccine has halved the number of new cervical cancers ten years after it was first administered in Australia.
Alfredo Corell's insight:

Cervical cancers have been cutted down by half since the HPV vaccine was first introduced. That is a real new and a real knowledge all the population should know.

Alfredo Corell's insight:

The documents contained here are designed to assist health professionals in their day-to-day work as it relates to immunization. Some of the resources are meant to provide health workers with information and training, while others are meant to be shared with patients, to provide them with important information about immunization and vaccine-preventable diseases.

Turning Vaccine Refusals Into Teachable Moments : NPR

Turning Vaccine Refusals Into Teachable Moments : NPR | Immunopathology & Immunotherapy | Scoop.it
To raise vaccination rates, some states have made it much harder for parents to get exemptions for their children from immunizations based on personal beliefs. One doctor says restrictions could backfire.
Alfredo Corell's insight:

But Dr. Edgar Marcuse, a pediatrician at Seattle Children's Hospital, says that strategy is likely to backfire. He's trying to come up with new ways to balance parents' freedom of choice with public health needs. He described the problem in the latest issue of the Archives of Adolescent and Pediatric Medicine.

Los expertos critican el plan de Sanidad por poco ambicioso. Piden la inclusión del neumococo y cuestionan la fecha de inmunización de varicela y papiloma

Los expertos critican el plan de Sanidad por poco ambiciosoPiden la inclusión del neumococo y cuestionan la fecha de inmunización de varicela y papiloma19 calendarios de vacunación ahondan las desigualdades “Un acuerdo de mínimos puede ser difícil de mejorar en el futuro”

Carla Pérez Alonso's comment, March 30, 2013 8:35 AM
En mi opinión, a los 12 años una gran parte de la población esta inmunizada de forma natural frente a la varicela por lo que resultaría poco útil vacunar a los niños a los 12 años, aunque se evitarían los casos más graves ya que la gravedad de esta enfermedad se incrementa con la edad y es de gran importancia la inmunidad en las embarazadas. Además creo que se debería replantear el suministrar la vacuna frente al virus del papiloma humano también en los varones pues se ha demostrado su asociación con el cáncer de recto. En definitiva, la realización de un calendario vacunal común para todas las comunidades me parece muy necesario sin embargo creo que se podría mejorar este plan propuesto por Sanidad.
