In a recent vaccination drive organized by SS Care Trust at a SSIMS & RC, Dr. Prabha Mallikarjun delivered an enlightening talk on the importance of the HPV vaccine. Human Papillomavirus (HPV) is a common virus that can lead to cervical cancer and other health issues. The vaccine, administered to young individuals, has been proven to significantly reduce the risk of cervical cancer.
Key Points from the talk:
Preventing Cervical Cancer: The HPV vaccine is a powerful tool in preventing cervical cancer. By targeting the specific strains of HPV responsible for most cases of cervical cancer, it provides robust protection.
Age of Administration: Dr. Prabha emphasized that the vaccine is most effective when administered early. Ideally, it should be given to adolescents between the ages of 9 and 14.
Impact on Cervical Cancer Rates: Research funded by Cancer Research UK reveals that the vaccine reduces cervical cancer rates by almost 90% in women aged 20s who received it at age 12-13.
Spreading Awareness: Let’s join hands to spread awareness about the HPV vaccine. Share this video to empower others with life-saving knowledge!
