Using one dose of the human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine is as effective in preventing cervical cancer as two or three doses, new research suggests.
on Monday found that a single dose of HPV vaccine could prevent a similar number of cervical cancer s, HPV infections and other HPV-related cancers as a two-dose program among men and women in Canada .The clinical data supporting this was strong for people aged nine to 20 years, said Dr. Chantal Sauvageau, study co-author and public health physician at the National Institute of Public Health of Quebec.
For Canadians aged 21 years and up, the recommendation is now two doses of the Gardasil-9 vaccine – down from three – given six months apart. In Canada, Gardasil-9 is the recommended vaccine since it provides protection against the greatest number of HPV types and associated diseases.NACI told Global News it will continue to monitor evidence of one-dose HPV vaccine schedules as evidence becomes available from clinical trials, Canadian data and other countries where similar schedules are adopted, such as the U.K. and Australia, and will update guidance as needed.
