This Monday, September 4, the vaccination campaign against the papillomavirus begins in schools in an attempt to eradicate it.
Vaccination as widely as possible to try to eradicate the papillomavirus, responsible for 6,400 new cases of cancer each year, as quickly as possible. The infection affects both sexes, and causes cancers of the genitals, but also of the anus. “This virus has been identified as the one responsible for uterine cancer. Today, knowledge is evolvinguent and we realize that it is responsible for genital cancers in general”explains Christèle Gras Le Guen, spokesperson for the French Pediatric Society.
Free vaccine for all
From the fall, all 5th graders will be able to get vaccinated for free. The vaccine still raises doubts among some people, while it can prevent 90% of forms of papillomavirus. “It’s the downside and the upside. We do not have proposed to our population, but we know that it has no negative effect”continues the spokesperson for the French Pediatric Society.
