Papillomavirus Vaccine

Nearly all cases of cervical cancer are attributable to human papillomavirus (HPV), making it a significant women’s health issue. Though there have been advances in the prevention of HPV via vaccination, significant barriers continue to suppress vaccination rates for girls. Delaying vaccination until after sexual debut increases a woman’s chance of HPV infection, but there has been no quantification of this risk in the literature. The present study sought to address this gap via secondary data analysis with 173 female participants from the 2015–2016 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey dataset. Results indicate that women in the sample who received the HPV vaccine after their sexual debut were 2.63 times more likely than women who receive the vaccine before their sexual debut to report an HPV diagnosis. These results have clear public and sexual health implications.

Abstract Background Highly effective human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccines are used in many national programs in 3- or 2-dose schedules. We examined HPV vaccine effectiveness against HPV prevalence by number of doses. Methods We collected residual liquid-based cytology samples from US women aged 20–29 years who were screened for cervical cancer. Women continuously enrolled from 2006 through the specimen collection date were analyzed. Specimens were tested using the Linear Array assay. We analyzed prevalence of quadrivalent HPV vaccine (4vHPV) types (HPV 6,11,16,18) and other HPV-type categories and determined prevalence ratios (PRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) for 1, 2, and 3 compared with no vaccine doses. Results Among 4269 women, 1052 (24.6%) were unvaccinated, 2610 (61.1%) received 3 doses, 304 (7.1%) received 2 doses, and 303 (7.1%) received 1 dose. The 4vHPV-type prevalence was 7.4% among unvaccinated women compared with 1.7%, 1.0%, and 1.0% among 1-, 2-, and 3-dose recipients. Among women vaccinated at ≤18 years, adjusted PRs for 1, 2, and 3 doses were 0.06 (95% CI, 0.01–0.42), 0.05 (95% CI, 0.01–0.39), and 0.06 (95% CI, 0.04–0.12). Conclusions Among women who received their first dose at age ≤18, estimated HPV vaccine effectiveness was high regardless of number of doses.

Vaccination Rates

Human papillomavirus (HPV) is recognized as the most prevalent sexually transmitted infection in the United States. Prevention of HPV infection is possible with the efficacy of HPV vaccine noted to be nearly 100% when introduced prior to sexual debut. In addition, vaccination post-sexual initiation could have a significant impact on reducing HPV infection and HPV-associated cancers in women. Much focus has been placed on vaccinating adolescents against HPV. However, strategies to increase vaccination rates among females ages 18-26, who remain eligible for vaccination, must be examined. A program evaluation was undertaken to assess the effectiveness of a newly developed pilot program for women ages 19-26 that incorporates assessment of vaccine eligibility during the prenatal period to increase uptake and completion of HPV vaccine postpartum. Data collected from the perinatal vaccination pilot program was performed retrospectively. Through a chart review, postpartum patients age 19-26 were identified and specific areas of focus were examined: whether an HPV dose was administered to vaccine eligible individuals during the inpatient period; whether an additional dose was administered at an ambulatory postpartum visit; and whether a subsequent dose was given at an ambulatory visit if warranted. Data analysis was conducted. Frequencies and percentages in relation to numbers of patients and HPV doses were calculated. Finally, implications for advanced nursing practice were discussed.

Objectives To investigate whether negative media coverage of the human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine led to a decrease in the uptake of the first dose of the HPV vaccine (HPV1) in Denmark and, importantly, whether some groups of individuals were more susceptible to negative media coverage. Methods We measured HPV vaccine uptake of 12-year-old girls born in 2001 to 2004 using Danish administrative data. A quasi-experimental design was employed to assess whether a documentary that was critical of the HPV vaccine and aired in March 2015 affected HPV uptake. Results The documentary led to a quick and substantial decrease in the monthly propensity to vaccinate, which dropped 3 percentage points—or about 50%—in response to the documentary. Responses differed substantially across subgroups, and girls from families with high socioeconomic status (SES) were more susceptible to the negative media coverage. Conclusions Susceptibility to negative media coverage varied substantially across subgroups, highlighting the need for policy makers to appropriately target and differentiate initiatives to improve vaccine compliance rates.

Papillomavirus Vaccine

Introduction: Human Papillomavirus (HPV) is the underlying etiology of numerous cancers and genital warts in both males and females. Vaccines were developed against HPV to prevent transmission and arrest development of cancers caused by the virus. Gardasil 9â is the newest vaccine, covering 9 serotypes of HPV and is recommended by the CDC for both males and females over 9 years of age in a series of vaccinations. Myopericarditis (including myocarditis and pericarditis) is not reported as an adverse reaction in the Gardasil 9â package insert. Case Report A healthy 18-year-old male with no significant past medical or social history received dose number 3 of HPV vaccine at his physician’s office. Within 24 hours, he developed chills and a fever (normal HPV reactions) and then recovered without sequelae within 48 hours. Three days later, he developed crushing chest pain, with arm tingling and jaw pain. He was triaged directly to the emergency room where he had troponins of greater than 11000 and T wave inversions on his EKG. Other diagnostic tests and labs showed normal heart anatomy and no early coronary artery disease. He was diagnosed with myopericarditis by cardiology. He was treated and recovered fully within 3 months. Discussion Using the WHO tool for adverse vaccine reactions, this case has a consistent causal relationship with vaccination. This is the eleventh case of myopericarditis reported to the Vaccine Adverse Effects Reporting system for the HPV vaccine. Conclusion Although rare, myopericarditis should be considered as a possible adverse effect from the human papillomavirus vaccine.

To Receive

The human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine is a key intervention in the prevention of HPV infection and associated cancers. This review emphasizes the importance of understanding what influences decision-making about this vaccine. Guided by the work of Whittemore and Knafl, and Pluye and Hong, we identified 25 studies, from which four prominent themes emerged: fear and risk, pain, parental involvement, and involvement of others. Fear of cervical cancer was a strong motivation to receive the vaccine, and the extent of parental involvement also had an impact on decision-making. Recommendations to receive the vaccine by health-care providers were also an important influence. School nurses are fundamental to the promotion and delivery of the HPV vaccine and should stress the significant role that it plays in the prevention of cancer. Additionally, school nurses should ensure that discussions about HPV infection and vaccine include parents where appropriate and should distinctly recommend vaccination to those eligible.

Sex With Men

Background: Despite the insupportable burden caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV) and high vaccine acceptability, vaccination programs are not currently available for men who have sex with men (MSM). We aimed to assess HPV infection by examining the willingness for vaccination among MSM and cost-effectiveness of the Chinese 2-valent HPV vaccine.Methods: We recruited MSM in Shenyang, China between July and December 2020 to conduct anal HPV testing and an online survey regarding HPV-related knowledge and vaccine acceptability. We performed a cost-effectiveness analysis to evaluate the incremental cost-effectiveness ratios (ICERs) of the Chinese 2-valent HPV vaccine.Results: A total of 234 participants completed the online survey; of those, 203 were successfully tested for HPV. The median age was 30 years [interquartile range (IQR): 23–38 years]. Most participants had at least undergraduate education (136/234, 58.1%). The acceptability rate for the free HPV vaccine was 57.7% (135/234). The prevalence of HPV types 16 and 18 was 14.9% (18/121) and 26.8% (22/82) in the willing and unwilling to vaccinate groups, respectively (P > 0.05). The prevalence of high-risk HPV among participants aged <30 and ≥50 years was 48.6 and 38.9%, respectively. Using the Chinese per capita gross domestic product (GDP) as a threshold, the Chinese 2-valent HPV vaccine would be a “very cost-effective” strategy, with an ICER value of USD 4,411. This evidence showed that the Chinese 2-valent HPV vaccine was more cost-effective than other imported vaccines.Conclusions: Targeted strategies should be utilized in MSM with different rates of vaccine acceptability. A pilot HPV vaccination program based on the Chinese 2-valent HPV vaccine for MSM is urgently warranted to reduce the burden of HPV and anal cancer.
