DOCTORS ARE AGAINST HPV VACCINATION BUT NOT PARENTS
@...@A recent study has found that it is the doctors who are against the human papillomavirus (HPV) but not the parents// It has been reported that the primary care doctors treat HPV vaccine differently from other routinely recommended immunizations// They discuss the HPV vaccine treatment with parents differently and do not recommend them to fully take the vaccine on time//

@...@Melissa Gilkey, an assistant professor of population medicine at Harvard Medical School, said the biggest hindrance in increasing HPV vaccination is improper guidance by the health care providers// She said that some providers find the interpersonal environment to be challenging and they feel it uncomfortable for them to talk about sex when discussing about HPV vaccination// Almost all cervical cancers including vaginal, vulvar, anal, penile or head and neck cancers are caused from HPV infection// Researchers said that about 90% of HPV~related cancers can be treated against three~dose series of the vaccine// All girls and boys of age between 11 and 12 are highly recommend by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to get vaccinated against the HPV vaccination before engaging in sexual activity//
