This PowerPoint presentation summarizes information about HPV (human papillomavirus) and the HPV vaccine. It discusses what HPV is, how common it is, how the vaccine works to prevent infection from high-risk HPV types, who should receive the vaccine, and the link between HPV and certain cancers. It also notes potential signs and symptoms of HPV infection and addresses an opposing viewpoint that the vaccine is expensive and can cause side effects in some cases.

3. What is HPV?
Human papillomavirus (HPV) is the most common viral
infection of the reproductive tract. Most sexually active
women and men will be infected at some point in their
lives and some may be repeatedly infected.
HPV stands for human papillomavirus.

4. Prevalence of HPV
Vaccines
Girls and women: Two vaccines (Cervarix and Gardasil)
Boys and men: One vaccine (Gardasil)
The vaccine is also recommended for gay and bisexual
men
Because HPV can cause serious problems such as
genital warts and some kinds of cancer, a vaccine is an
important step in preventing infection and protecting
against the spread of HPV.

5. Signs and symptoms of HPV
Genital warts in men and women
cause warts in the throat
cause normal cells in the body to turn abnormal
might lead to cancer over time
syncope (fainting)
dizziness
nausea
headache
fever
urticarial (hives)

6. Importance of vaccinations
One of greatest public health achievements in the world
Vaccines are the most effective intervention in reducing and
preventing the return of infectious disease
Prevents from getting Cervical Cancer, genital warts

7. Why are HPV vaccines needed?
To prevent cervical cancer
To protect against cancer
It protects kids, men-women and seniors from unknown
diseases
Protects from Genital warts

8. Link between Cancer and HPV
High-risk HPV infection accounts for approximately 5 percent of all
cancers worldwide. However, most high-risk HPV infections occur
without any symptoms, go away within 1 to 2 years, and do not
cause cancer.
Some HPV infections, however, can persist for many years.
Persistent infections with high-risk HPV types can lead to more
serious cytological abnormalities or lesions that, if untreated, may
progress to cancer.

9. How does the HPV vaccine work?
The HPV vaccine is given as three injections over a 6-
month period. The vaccine does not protect people who
have been infected with HPV before they've been
vaccinated. That's why getting the vaccine before having
sex for the first time is the most effective way for it to
help prevent the infection.

10. Vaccine target populations
There are currently over 20 million people affected by the virus, with
6.2 million new infections diagnosed each year. Although most
infections are cleared by the immune system, in some cases HPV
can cause cervical cancer.
Infections occur soon after onset of sexual activity, with as many as
50% of women infected.

11. Opposing Viewpoints of HPV vaccine
Although this vaccine helps prevent Cervical Cancer and
against genital warts, I think that this vaccine is
EXPENSIVE($130 per does ($390 for full series))
This vaccine gives you
headaches, fever, nausea, painful arms, hands, legs or
feet, may fell dizzy and might do vomit
There are people died because of taking HPV vaccine
The vaccines do not protect against all HPV types so
they will not prevent all cases of cervical cancer.
