8. The Truth
 CDC article clarifies the myth
 Analyzes adverse events of
the vaccine
 Benefits outweigh the risks
 Only 6% (out of 56 million
doses in US) reported serious
adverse reactions with 32
deaths
 No common pattern to the deaths that would suggest they
were caused by the vaccine
 Explained by other factors

Health (NIH) states “In
many women the vaccine
successfully prevents pre-
cancerous changes which
may develop into cervical
cancer.”
 Like CDC article, this is
another credible source
that worried patients
should be aware of

10. The Future
 Although available 8 years
 1/3 of girls have gotten all 3
 7% of boys have gotten all 3
 Will be even more protective
 Likely to see a large increase in HPV vaccination
 President’s Cancer Panel Annual Report:
 Accelerate HPV vaccination
 US
 Globally

11. The Future
Accelerate HPV vaccination in the US:
 Goal 1-reduce missed clinical opportunities to recommend
and administer HPV vaccine
 Goal 2-increase parents’, caregivers’ , and adolescents’
acceptance of HPV vaccine
 Goal 3-maximize access to HPV vaccination services
Also likely to increase as more stats
