Vaccine against papilloma virus

Important information about existing vaccines against human papilloma virus: composition, side effects, recommendations. Arguments for and against vaccination

Papillomas are customary to call neoplasms of a benign nature arising from the skin or mucous membranes on the human body. The reason for the appearance of such growths is a virus Papillomas of man (HPV), whose species have been revealed and studied about a hundred.

The main way of transmission of infection – sex. However, sometimes infection can occur and in a different way, for example, through household items.

So HPV received the widest distribution among modern people, a huge number of people infect them as it is puberty and starting sexual activity.

Often infection occurs at a fairly early age. Thus, the first episodes of the disease can be found in adolescents already leading sex life.

It is important to understand that as soon as a person is infected with one of the existing types of HPV, the disease is no longer scary.

The disease can exist in the layers of the epithelium without causing any pronounced reaction from immunity. That is why cases of re-infection with the same type of virus are often observed.

Papilloma vaccines – types and their effectiveness

To date, two vaccines have been developed that are actively used to vaccinate HPV. One of these vaccines is a pickler, that is, able to protect the human body from four types of HPV, and the second – bivalent, effective against 2 types.

Vaccine against a human papilloma virus, the action of which is aimed at protecting from four common types of types wears the name of Gradacil. Produces her dutch pharmaceutical company. Bivalent vaccine called Cervarix and produced in Belgium. Both vaccines are introduced threefold according to a specific scheme: 0-2-6 or 0-1-6.

The basis of both drugs is the protein of the microorganism shell, while the DNA of the virus does not contain. The protein structures of the infectious pathogen cause the appropriate reaction from the immunity when it begins to produce antibodies, designed to reliably protect the body from infection in the future.

These vaccines are considered completely safe, thanks to the absence of a DNA of the virus, which means that the infection after vaccination from papilloma is impossible.

Also, the vaccine includes aluminum hydroxide necessary to activate the immune system so that it can produce enough antibodies. In addition, drugs for vaccination from HPV contain antibiotics, traces of yeast and certain preservatives.

Cervarix and Gradacil were clinical trials in which both showed their sufficiently high efficiency. Both vaccines protect from the infection of oncogenic species of HPV (16, 18), but the action of Gradasil also applies to other types that contribute to the occurrence of deep and papillom on the human body.

Today, the vaccine against the human papilloma virus can be held by girls and boys, but in many countries the vaccination makes only girls and girls, since such an approach interrupts the transmission of the virus, and therefore the boys remain indirectly protected.

What is dangerous man’s papilloma virus

Not many people know that the person’s papilloma virus is not a safe illness, as it can provoke the development of various infections. Most often infection caused by HPV proceeds in the form of pathologies of a benign nature, but some of them still have a certain oncogenic potential, and therefore may lead to the emergence of precancerous pathologies.

The human papilloma virus to some extent can contribute to the development of the following pathologies:

•  Cervical Cancer (Collery Cancer);
• Cancer vagina and outdoor genital organs;
• The occurrence of the guard in the crotch area and the anal hole;
• Respiratory papillomatosis and t.D.

In some countries where there is no effective system of early diagnosis of cancer, this is a malignant disease caused by HPV, carrying out a rather large number of people who are still in reproductive age.

The fact is that at first the person’s papilloma virus provokes the rebirth of the vaginal cells and the uterine cervix and the emergence of neoplasias, which, in the absence of timely therapy, can contribute to the development of cancer.

Recommendations for the use of HPV Vaccine

Popilloma virus vaccination is recommended to put all young people who are under 26 years old. However, the greatest effectiveness of the vaccine can be ensured if you enter it even before the start of sexual activity, while the child has not yet absolutely contact with the virus. In another situation, the vaccination is done by young women, not infected with HPV.

Thus, a vaccine against a person’s papilloma virus will be absolutely useless if you put it already infected with a woman or a man.

However, there is a scientific study proving that the vaccination of infected women under the age of 35 is capable of much accelerating the treatment process.

Therefore, many gynecologists recommend putting a vaccine, since after the introduction of the last three doses, the optimal protection against the virus is already marked in approximately one month.

This vaccination from the Papilloma virus can only be introduced intramuscularly, for example – in the thigh or shoulder. At the same time, a peculiar depot of the vaccine is formed, from which it can gradually suck in blood. Other types of vaccination, such as intravenously or subcutaneously, will not be effective.

Possible complications

The studies have shown that the Vaccine against HPV is fairly easily transferred and does not have a large number of side effects.

So, after vaccination, the following local and general reactions may be observed:

•  small swelling and redness in the zone of the introduction of the vaccine;
• moderate itching and soreness of injection site;
• temperature increase;
• headaches;
• General malaise.

A serious complication after vaccination can be an allergic reaction in heavy form, manifested by a wretchedness, an edema of quinque, anaphylactic shock and T.D.

Contraindications

It is categorically impossible to use a Vaccine against HPV to people:

1. having an allergic reaction during the primary administration of the drug;
2. with intolerance of certain components in the vaccine;
3. suffering from any acute disease or with exacerbation of chronic disease.

It is worth noting that the last item is not an absolute contraindication. Conducting vaccination will be possible after cure or remission.

Arguments against Vaccination from HPV

Today, along with those who definitely recommend vaccination from HPV, enemies of vaccinations appeared, arguing their position as follows:

•  The vaccine appeared relatively recently and its safety was not tested by several generations of women;
• The vaccination loses its effectiveness if it is not to do with virgins, since with the beginning of sexual life the disease, most likely, has already managed to penetrate the body;
• It is believed that the introduction of the drug to women infected with HPV can accelerate the development of cervical cancer and condylomatosis;
• The vaccination can only protect from two or four types of virus when there are about a hundred.

As can be seen, there is a sufficient number of arguments and for the vaccine and against it. Find out who is right to actually help only time.
