It's back to school time and if you are the parent of a child just starting middle school, that means it's time for his or her middle school set of vaccinations. I have had some parents ask about the human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine which isn't required for entrance to middle school, but is highly recommended. In my professional opinion, I feel that it should be required and it is my hope that after reading this post you will see why I feel strongly about this cancer-preventing vaccine.
Human papillomavirus is a virus that is most commonly acquired through sexual contact. In fact, it’s the most common sexually transmitted infection (STI). HPV infection is so common that almost everyone will be infected at some point in their life. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), approximately 79 million Americans are currently infected with HPV and there are 14 million new cases each year. In many cases, fortunately, HPV will go away on its own and not cause any long-term health problems, but when it doesn’t, it can cause genital warts and cancer. The most common cancer caused by HPV infection is cervical cancer, but it can also cause cancers of the vagina and vulva in women, cancer of the penis in men, and cancers of the mouth, throat and anus in both men and women. The scary thing is most who are infected with HPV aren’t even aware they have it and it can take years for someone with it to develop cancer. Prior to the HPV vaccine, the only ways to prevent acquiring HPV and the health problems it can cause was to use protection such as latex condoms if sexually active, but even that can't offer full protection. Other means to prevent it are 1) to be in a mutually, monogomous relationship and, 2) to be screened for cervical cancer if female. Fortunately, now (well, actually for the past decade), we have another means of prevention and that's through the HPV vaccine. There are over 100 different strains of HPV and while the HPV vaccine doesn't protect against them all it can prevent infection from the more high-risk strains. The HPV vaccine can prevent cancers caused by HPV Types 16, 18, 31, 33, 45, 52, and 58. It also can prevent precancerous lesions caused by HPV Types 6, 11, 16, 18, 31, 33, 45, 52, and 58; as well as genital warts caused by HPV Types 6 and 11. Now it is important to mention that not all cancers of the vulva, vagina and anus are caused by HPV and the HPV vaccine only protects against the strains aforementioned. The HPV vaccine is approved by the food and drug administration (FDA) and is recommended by the CDC for females and males between the ages of 9 and 26 years of age, although it is routinely given at 11 or 12. One of the questions I have received in clinic is, “Well, my child is only 11, and he isn't sexually active nor is he going to be anytime soon. Why does he need this vaccine now”. The answer is simple. The idea of vaccines is to protect your child long before they will exposed to the disease, – so in the case of HPV, long before he is ever sexually active. For example, we don't wait until your child is exposed to measles to protect him from it. This is the same idea with the HPV vaccine. In addition to that, preteens have a more vigorous immune response to HPV vaccine as compared to older teens. Your child will only need two doses if vaccinated before the age of 15 versus the three doses if vaccinated at 15 or older. Another concern I have heard from parents is the idea that the HPV vaccine is too “new” to the vaccine schedule. In all honesty, it's really not. Yes, it hasn't been around as some of the other routine vaccines, such as the Measles, Mumps and Rubella vaccine (MMR) and the H. influenzae type B vaccine (Hib), but it still has had years of clinical trials and post-marketing safety surveillance data to show it's safe and effective. The HPV vaccine was first developed in Australia over 20 years ago and filed for U.S. patent in 1994. In 2006, the FDA approved the first preventive HPV vaccine and by 2008, over 80 countries across the world had approved it. Since then — about a decade now— it has been approved in over 100 countries with over 100 millions doses given world-wide. You can also look at it this way, if your child is entering middle school, the vaccine is older than your child; it's really not that new. Just like the other vaccines your child will be receiving at his middle school well-child check, the HPV vaccine is safe and effective. No serious side effects have been caused by the HPV vaccine, but as with any vaccine (or medication), there is always a risk for side effects, even serious ones, like allergic reactions, injury or death. The most common side effects associated with the HPV vaccine are just local site reactions like mild redness, swelling or pain at injection site. Some patients experience fever and others have complained of a headache, but overall, it is very well-tolerated and these symptoms should go away quickly. To date, the HPV vaccine has not been associated with any long-term or serious side effects. The benefits of this vaccine far outweigh the risks. Moreso, the HPV vaccine is effective. In Australia, where they have a National HPV Vaccination program and have had better rates of vaccination against HPV, there has been a significant decrease in HPV-related infections in young women. In fact, an October 2012 study in The Journal of Infectious Disease found that the prevalence of vaccine-preventable HPV types (6, 11, 16, and 18) in Papanicolaou test results of women aged 18-24 dropped significantly from 28.7% to 6.7% — only four years after the National HPV Vaccination started. In addition, the vaccine is long-lasting and there is no evidence of waning immunity for at least 10 years. Now, as far as how long immunity lasts after inoculation, that is still unknown. It is my hope this post has helped inform you regarding the HPV vaccine and allay some worries you may have had. I strongly believe in the importance of this cancer-preventing vaccine, why I'm talking about it here and why I recommend it to all my patients. What's more, we at ABC Pediatrics, believe that vaccinating your child may be the single most important health promoting intervention we perform as health-care providers and that you can do as parents and caregivers. As always, do not hesitate to contact us if you want any more information on the HPV vaccine or with any other questions or concerns. We are happy to help!

Hello everyone, my name is Marvelyn Evans. For quite some time, My husband was living in another apartment due to work pressure and we were very much happy together even though he stayed apart from us for some months. Little did i know a colleague from work was already having an affair with him which made my husband file a divorce against me out of nowhere. I knew something was wrong because we never had to fight or argue that much to make him leave. I was traumatized and i search for help to tackle the situation which led me to DR ISIKOLO from praises people showered on him online. We discussed at length and he told everything I needed to know about what happened and the due process to fix the problems. He fulfilled his promises and got my husband back to me and the divorce process was canceled. Now my husband is back home to us and we are happy together. Its indeed amazing how people can genuinely help other people when they are in need. He can help you too. Just text him via WhatsApp +2348133261196 or email him via: isikolosolutionhome@gmail.com

After I and my husband got married, we relocated to another city and we both got jobs and started working and living together happily. We never had any problems until a colleague of his started doing all she can to get my husband’s attention. I never knew all along what was going until he started sleeping out and making excuses. Things got out of control and he eventually stopped attending to my needs. I knew at that point I needed help so I contacted Dr Isikolo and explained everything to him. He told me all that has been going and promised to fix the problems for me which he did. He cast a love reunion spell for me which reunited i and my husband and he started being the man I always loved him to be just after 48 hours Dr Isikolo worked for me. We are both happy now and it would not have been possible if not for Dr Isikolo. Contact him if you need any help.

I and my wife had a misunderstanding which led to a huge fight and she left home and returned back to her fathers house. I let my emotions got the best of me and stayed permanently away from her. Things grew worse when she started seeing another man and I never knew about it. I tried fixing the problem and getting her to return back home and she never came back. I later found out all that has been going on and decided to seek help to fix my marriage with her which made me contact Dr Isikolo. Just as expected he worked for me and the problem was fixed and I am reunited with my wife. She returned back home just after 48 hours as promised by Dr Isikolo.

I met my wife when I was working and living in Alaska. Ever since we got married, it has been all good till she decided to go for a summit in another state where she met someone who became closer to her and eventually he eloped with her. All my efforts to get back home to me was all in vain and her family did their best to reunite us but nothing worked. Just like everyone else, I came in contact with Dr Isikolo and he eventually did wonders and now my wife is back to me. It was revealed that she was hypnotized by the guy who eloped with her. I am glad I never let my emotions get the best of me to have ended my marriage with her. Dr Isikolo is a strong spell caster and trust him when he says the results will manifest just after 48 hours.

I was still in college when I met my fiancé. We dated for quite a long time and cohabited and our relationship was approved by our parents. We got along and everything was perfect. He traveled out for some training and since then everything never became good for us again. He was seeing a lady over there and he tends to have committed much to what they shared and left me out the picture. I did all I can to fix the problem but nothing worked until I heard about Dr Isikolo. I contacted him and explained what I was going through and he promised to help which he did as promised. I complied with the instructions he gave me and he fixed the problem I had with my fiancé and now he’s back to me and we are getting married in a month. All thanks to Dr Isikolo.
