Preventing cancer just got a little easier. That’s a big deal.
The official news at the end of 2016 was a change to the recommendation for HPV (human papillomavirus) vaccination, reducing the recommended number of doses from three to just two for girls and boys who initiate the series at ages 9 through 14 years.
This new recommendation reduces the number of doses of the vaccine required, yet is still effective in preventing HPV infections and HPV-associated diseases, including cancers. That means fewer office visits for boys and girls, and less vaccine stored by health care providers.
Know Hepatitis, Act Now to Prevent Cancer
Do you know hepatitis? My hope is that you don’t, given that worldwide 80 percent of all primary liver cancers are caused by chronic infection with hepatitis B or C. But I also hope that you do know hepatitis, in that you know of and have received the hepatitis B vaccine to prevent infection, and ultimately to prevent liver cancer.
