3,985 students at Santos Municipal School between the ages of 9 and 13 who have been vaccinated with the HPV vaccine have not yet received protection. The virus is responsible for many cancers, including the cervix, vulva, vagina, penis, and oral cavity. This number represents one-third of all students in the Santista network who need to be vaccinated.
The findings are the result of an in-school health program jointly developed by the municipal health and education department to monitor disease in the school environment of a health facility. According to Ercilla Wiggert, one of the program's coordinators, the City's technicians were based on electronic medical history statistics from people vaccinated with polyclonics.
"We then crossed the data with 39 schools in the municipal network and reached the number of students who were not immunized or who were not enrolled in the municipal system," he explains.
"The school had a deadline to update their children's books because they sent a note to each parent. After the holiday, four articulated agents start visiting the school to collect this data," he said. I will add.
A difficult solution
This is not the first time that Tribuna has had difficulty achieving HPV vaccination goals. Immunization for the HPV vaccine inserted into the official vaccine calendar in 2015 is one of the least adherent vaccines. It is recommended for boys ages 11-14 and girls ages 9-14. Baixada Santista is only 11.27% of the target. The goal is 80%.
According to the Ministry of Health, the target population is 20,428 young people – 12,596 girls and 7,832 boys. From January to August this year, 7,587 vaccinations were given. Of the girls aged 9 to 14, 2,067 were inoculated first (16.4%) and 1,648 were inoculated second (13%). Of the boys aged 11 to 14, 2,028 received the first dose (25.8%) and 1,844 received the second (23.5%).
Experts say that if HPV vaccination is not performed properly, the vaccine will sporadically respond and result in a lack of information. For example, an episode of Bertioga when students claimed dose response.
According to Ercilla, many parents are afraid to be vaccinated because they are afraid to stimulate their child's sex life. "One of the reasons is that the other one is that there is a trend of a natural doctor who is unfavorable to the vaccine and advised the mother not to vaccinate her child," explained the Health in School program coordinator.
She asks for your parents' cooperation. "We need help, so we can respond to a note from the school, so do not be afraid." Vaccines help prevent future problems, which is the prevention of cervical cancer. "He said.
Nurse Alex Charleaux Amorim, director of technology at the Santos Vaccination Center, said: "In literature, warts may develop 15 years after they become contaminated. It is best to vaccinate them as early as possible to prevent disease."
disinformation
Renato Kfouri, a pediatrician who is the vice-president of the Brazilian Immunology Association (SBIm), says some people are afraid of vaccination because of sexual transmission of HPV.
"People who are worried about being vaccinated because of cancer vaccine and sex are a big inconsistency," he criticizes.
