Der Impfstoff des menschlichen Papillomavirus (HPV) schützt Frauen vor dem Virus des Gebärmutterhalskrebs-einschließlich derer, die nicht den Stich bekommen. Je nachdem, welchen Impfstoff sie erhielten, sanken HPV -Infektionen bei geimpften Frauen über 17 Jahre um 76% auf 98%.

A large, long-term study led by an Albert Einstein College of Medicine researcher has found that the introduction of the human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine in community settings is highly effective in protecting young women from infections caused by the cervical-cancer-causing virus—including women who didn’t even receive the vaccine. The study was published today in JAMA Pediatrics.
“There are two encouraging takeaways from our study,” said lead author Jessica Kahn, M.D., M.P.H., professor of pediatrics and the Dr. Ernest Baden Chair in Head and Neck Pathology at Einstein. “First, HPV vaccines work remarkably well in a real-world setting, even among women at high risk for HPV and who may not have received all vaccine doses. Second, we saw clear evidence of herd immunity, meaning when enough people are vaccinated, the vaccine indirectly protects unvaccinated people by reducing overall virus transmission. These results reinforce the potential of the HPV vaccine to prevent infection and, ultimately, eliminate cervical cancer globally.”
HPV is the most common sexually transmitted infection worldwide and is the primary cause of cervical cancer. HPV also causes other genital cancers as well as head and neck cancers in both women and men. According to the International Agency for Research on Cancer, HPV is responsible for more than 690,000 new cancer cases each year—about 4.5% of all cancers globally.

Also known as one of the most effective anti-cancer treatments ever!
I’ve heard him Sweden, that they’ve stopped doing regular pap smears ( or have greatly reduced the frequency) Because pretty much everyone has vaccinated and as a result this medical procedure has become irrelevant, or much less important compared to what it used to be. ( I don’t live in Sweden, I heard a doctor talk about this so I could be wrong)
I got this vaccine as a young woman emerging from evangelical Christianity. It was so new that the public healthcare system where I lived wasn’t paying for it yet. I was a broke undergrad, so I nervously asked my parents to cover the cost.
Fortunately, I had the presence of mind to use the phrase “cervical cancer vaccine.” My parents, despite their moral opposition to premarital sex, were on board as soon as the words “cancer vaccine” came out of my mouth.
I got no side effects beyond a sore arm, and I’m still incredibly glad to have that protection.
Which is why it’s so important that everyone get it.
Nope they are going to cause problems.
It has also been shown that cervical cancer among the vaccinated has decreased by 95% or more.
And this is why I got vaccinated as soon it became available! Vaccines work.
I can remember when it came out and people saying they wouldn’t give it to their children because it would somehow cause promiscuity or take away a deterrent ie gods punishment arguments.
In this case I’m glad to see the herd immunity may still have protected the children who had parents like that.
Here in Taiwan my daughter’s middle school just last week offered students the HPV vaccine for free. Definitely something everyone should get if you can. Next month they’re giving flu shots.
I was never offered it because I’m a guy and they weren’t vaccinating men when I was a teenager.
I sought it out after one of my coworkers broke down crying at her desk because she got a call from her doctor saying she tested positive for it.
But what about the autism?
Not just cervical cancer, HPV is linked to several cancers of the head too. Am glad my kids will both get the vaccine
