Almost 80% of the world's population struck by the human papilloma virus.Now there are more than 100 different strains of the disease.Fortunately, most of them are harmless.They lead only to the warts, but have no effect on the life of the whole organism.But there are high risk HPV that are found in all the patients who have been diagnosed with cervical cancer, anus, external genitalia or throat.
Vaccination against human papillomavirus
Modern scholars argue that the presence of HPV in the body does not mean that a person will be cancer.But such a patient falls into a risk group.Because the virus changes the cell and makes possible the development of a tumor.
Pharmaceutical companies have developed special immunizations that stimulate cells of the immune system.And it does not allow the virus to enter the body and gain a foothold in it.Currently, patients can choose what kind of vaccination - "Gardasil" or "Cervarix" do.Both vaccines protect against two types of HPV, which are the main precursors of cancer of the cervix and anus.
Features vaccination "Gardasil»
should be understood that any of the vaccine is not able to heal people from HPV.But "Gardasil" (vaccination) is active against 4 types of HPV.Of these, 16 and 18 strains are High risk, and 6 and 11 cause genital warts - the so-called genital warts.
vaccinations best in an age when people had not yet infected with the said virus.Vaccine manufacturers recommend vaccinating children and adolescents before sexual debut.Scope
use
If you want to be vaccinated 'Gardasil', then you should know that it protects against infection by 4 types of human papillomavirus, namely 6, 11, 16 and 18. All the other subtypes of HPV can become infected patientsfor life.But they are not as dangerous.Introduced in time the vaccine can prevent the development of dysplasia, and in some cases even cancer of the vagina, cervix, anus and vulva, caused by the 16 th and 18 th HPV types in women and men.
If we talk about vaccination "Cervarix", it protects against the development of the same disease.This is due to the fact that it is active against two types of HPV - 16 and 18.
Risks
Increasingly, now you can find the information that "Gardasil" - vaccination against pregnancy.According to some people, the mass vaccination of children in adolescence - a cunning plan to destroy the population by its extinction.Many talk about the similarity of the usage pattern of the specified drug to the vaccine, which were developed by the Rockefeller Foundation and intended to provoke abortions.
vaccination opponents also say that this is not a guarantee that a cancer patient will not.However, vaccine manufacturers only confirm the fact that their product is intended to prevent the consolidation of human papilloma virus in the body.
In addition, the researchers argue that the cause of miscarriages and premature births have become the names of many vaccine "Gardasil".Vaccination, on the recommendation of the manufacturer, should ideally be done before the onset of sexual activity, or to prevent the complications that can cause HPV.Therefore, to talk about complications or ineffectiveness of vaccination during pregnancy does not make sense.Moreover, the manual contains information that is desirable to protect themselves from possible conception during the course of vaccination and not to him, if the fact of pregnancy has been confirmed.
Methods of application
There are two dosing regimens of the vaccine "Gardasil".Vaccination is done three times.If we stick to the usual pattern, the second injection is carried out two months after the first.A third - even 4 months after the second.That is, the rate of vaccination is extended for six months.
But there is an accelerated version.So you can enter a second dose one month after the first, and the third - three after the second.That is, the full course will last for 4 months.But even if there was a violation of the specified range, do not worry.The course will be complete in the case for one year to get done three vaccinations.
to all age groups is used the same amount of the preparation - 0.5 mL.It is administered intramuscularly in the deltoid muscle.It can also be injected into the upper outer surface of the middle part of the thigh.
Nurse makes these injections must know all the rules of its use.So, before using a disposable syringe (bottle) vaccine should be shaken so as to obtain a homogeneous turbid slurry.The dose is administered in one portion, and the injection site is treated with 70% alcohol.
If a vial or syringe visible foreign matter, particles, changed the color of her or she is not uniform, it is a testament to its unsuitability.
necessary information
Reading vaccination "Gardasil" reviews, you can often find the opinion that it does not help get rid of the cancer.It really is.It is intended only for prevention against a number of diseases, some of whom are cancer.Also, it can not be used to get rid of all types of HPV.The meaning of its introduction only in those cases when the patient is not infected by the strains against which the vaccine is effective.It has no effect on an already active infection in the body, which were caused by HPV.Also unfinished course can not be protected from possible contamination.Therefore, the use of barrier methods of contraception during the vaccination is mandatory.Also, do not read about grafting "Gardasil" reviews, which say about the infection by other sexually transmitted diseases.It is not a method of protection from certain diseases.
As with any other vaccine, not all patients have the expected immune response.She showed the result of 99% of the investigated people.If it can not exclude the introduction of a situation of anaphylactic shock.Therefore, if the "Gardasil" (vaccination) is done at the school, then hand the nurse should always be a means of emergency treatment.For 30 minutes, the patient should be monitored.The most common response in the form of syncope occurs in young women and adolescents.
Complications
addition to rare situations where there is an anaphylactic reaction, there may be other side effects after vaccination was introduced, "Gardasil".Comments and information from the manufacturer indicate that patients often complain of itching and pain at the injection site and in the limbs, on the formation of a hematoma or fever.Almost one in ten noted swelling, redness of the injection site.
Also, many patients, after they have been vaccinated "Gardasil" comments left about the appearance of fatigue, chills, general discomfort, nausea, vomiting, bronchospasm, urticaria.But to evaluate the accuracy of this information and to communicate complications described with the introduction of the drug is not possible.
Combining drugs
If you have started a course of vaccination means 'Gardasil', the subsequent injections need to be done only with the use of said vaccine.It can be administered simultaneously with other medicines.Time-out is not required if the patient is necessary to make a recombinant vaccine active against hepatitis B, meningococcal, diphtheria, pertussis (acellular component using), tetanus, polio.The main thing - to introduce them to different sites.
research has also been found that the use of hormonal contraceptives, anti-inflammatory drugs, analgesics, antibiotics, vitamin complexes, steroid agents does not affect the efficacy and safety of the vaccine "Gardasil".Vaccination has not been tested on those patients who use immunosuppressive drugs.
Immunobiologichesky properties
Talking about all the possible pros and cons of the drug, many do not know exactly how the vaccine works.It is composed of highly purified proteins of human papillomavirus 6, 11, 16 and 18 strains.In addition, the graft comprises an adjuvant, L-histidine, yeast protein, polysorbate 80, sodium borate.Contrary to popular belief, not the vaccine is composed of virus (dead or alive), it is only the virus-like particles that are unable to reproduce.But they allow to obtain the desired immune response.
Included vaccine proteins are produced by separate fermentation.Each type of virus is cleared, it is adsorbed on special adjuvants that comprises aluminum.Anyone who knows the principle of the vaccine, understand that "Gardasil" - the vaccine against human papillomavirus.As a result, its use produces antibodies that persist for 36 months (according to some sources, they are active for more than 8 years).But in the course of the study has not been established need revaccination.
Application
used "Gardasil" (vaccination) in Russia is quite wide.At the governmental level have been taken of the program, according to which the Russian girls are vaccinated free of charge.Vaccination done in schools, health centers and clinics.At this step the government has gone because the 2000s was recorded disappointing statistics.In Russia, from cervical cancer every day 18 women died.And the world said the diagnosis is established every 2 minutes.
completely get rid of the cancer, of course, will not work, but to reduce the risk of cancer can be.After all, with timely immunization can prevent the development of cervical cancer, which develops as a result of changes in the cells by the human papillomavirus.
Alternative means
Find other drugs that can protect against the development of cancer, it is possible only in case, if we understand what is needed "Gardasil" (shots).From what helps vaccine can explain every gynecologist and immunology.As mentioned earlier, it can not cure HPV, and especially cancer, but it can help to eliminate the possibility of infection with human papillomavirus and the development of cancer caused by them.
alternative is a vaccine "Cervarix".For example, "Gardasil" (vaccination) in Ukraine has appeared only in 2014.Until that time the vaccination was carried out only with the use of the drug "Cervarix", which is active against the two virus types - High risk strains 16 and 18. However, universal and compulsory vaccination in Ukraine was not.
choose between these vaccines is better together with your doctor.We should not forget that they are equally effective against HPV 16 and 18 types in the period when the body is still there to the infection.But "Gardasil" able to protect even 6, 11 strains that cause genital warts.This means that the patient even after a full course of vaccination means "Cervarix" warts can appear on the cervix and vulva.Use of the drug "Gardasil" excludes the development of such a scenario.But both of these vaccines failed to protect against other strains of the mass of said virus.Features
use
Before you will be introduced the vaccine, it is necessary to clarify the conditions for its storage.Thus, it should be kept in a cool place (from 2 to 8 0C) at which no daylight.But it is unacceptable freezing.Pass a drug for 3 years, after the expiry of the deadline, it must be disposed of.
There are also a number of questions concerning the use of vaccines 'Gardasil' in adulthood.For example, the manufacturer claims that a vaccination program can get all teenagers, regardless of gender, and women aged up to 45 years.While many studies suggest that vaccination after 26 years of not giving the expected results.In most cases, this may be due to the fact that the woman in this age is the bearer of human papillomavirus.Therefore, vaccination can not protect against infection and thus prevent the development of cancer.
Many experts say that much more effective will be regularly monitored by a gynecologist and the annual observance of cytology.It does not help to prevent the disease, but will be able to identify any changes in the early stages.
Of course, you can find the information and the fact that he could not protect against cancer "Gardasil".Reviews indicate that even in vaccinated may develop cancer of the cervix, anus, vagina or external genitalia.This may be due to the fact that the vaccine protects against the two High risk types of the virus - 16, 18. But in 30% of cases, the detection of cancer are other strains of HPV infection that could also provide an impetus to the development of cancer.Therefore, in no case can not be considered a panacea for the vaccination of oncological diseases.Only regular checkups at the gynecologist and conducting smear cytology will help monitor the health.
