Good news about HPV vaccine
| Tue, 02-09-2010 - 11:43am |
Two recent studies have good news about the human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine, which protects against the virus that can cause cervical cancer.
In the United States, researchers at the University of North Carolina discovered that most parents of teen girls who got the HPV vaccine said their daughters didn't experience unusual pain compared to other kinds of injections. The study may help ease concern about isolated reports of excessive pain with the HPV vaccine.
Meanwhile, another study found that new cases of genital warts have declined sharply since an HPV vaccination program for teen girls and young women began in Australia in 2007.
