How to protect a child from HPV

👧 Adolescence is a difficult period for a child. Gradually, new problems appear in her life, and as parents we try to protect the child from dangers she has never encountered before. So, with the beginning of sexual life, the issue of protection against the human papilloma virus becomes acute.

💊 Among the vaccines developed throughout the history of immunology, the human papillomavirus vaccine occupies an important place. This is due to the fact that HPV vaccination is used to prevent cervical cancer, which in most cases is caused by this disease.

👩‍🔬 Unfortunately, today there are no drugs that can completely destroy the papillomavirus in the body, and the vaccine remains almost the only way to fight the disease. Thanks to vaccination, HPV infections have decreased by 88% among adolescent girls and by 81% among young adult women.

🛡️ Another advantage of the human papilloma virus vaccine is that it provides long-term protection — about 12 years. Children are recommended to be vaccinated with two doses at the age of 9-14 before the start of sexual life. Boys are also vaccinated, because they can be carriers of the virus.

🥰 Children's health is our priority. That's why at Mother's House we carry out HPV vaccination with high-quality Belgian and American vaccines.
